Folklore Medley: Exile / Cardigan / August / My Tears Ricochet |
| We gather here, we line up |
| Weeping in a sunlit room |
| And if I’m on fire |
| You’ll be made of ashes too |
| Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe |
| All the hell you gave me? |
| 'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you |
| Till my dying day |
| I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace |
| And you’re the hero flying around, saving face |
| And if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake? |
| Cursing my name, wishing I stayed, look at how my tears ricochet |
| I can see you staring, honey |
| Like he’s just your understudy |
| Like you’d get your knuckles bloody for me |
| Second, third, and hundredth chances |
| Balancing on breaking branches |
| Those eyes add insult to injury |
| I think I’ve seen this film before |
| And I didn’t like the ending |
| I’m not your problem anymore |
| So who am I offending now? |
| You were my crown |
| Now I’m in exile, seeing you out |
| I think I’ve seen this film before |
| So I’m leaving out the side door |
| Just step right out, there is no amount |
| Of crying I can do for |
| All this time |
| I never learned to read your mind (never learned to read my mind) |
| I couldn’t turn things around (you never turned things around) |
| 'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs) |
| Salt air, and the rust on your door |
| I never needed anything more |
| Whispers of «Are you sure?» |
| «Never have I ever before» |
| But I can see us lost in the memory |
| August slipped away |
| Like a moment in time |
| 'Cause it was never mine |
| But I can see us lost in the memory |
| August slipped away |
| Like a bottle of wine |
| 'Cause you were never mine |
| But I knew you |
| Leaving like a father |
| Running like water, oh |
| When you are young |
| They assume you know nothing |
| But I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss |
| I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs |
| The smell of smoke would hang around this long |
| 'Cause I knew everything when I was young |
| I knew I’d curse you for the longest time |
| Chasing shadows in the grocery line |
| I knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired |
| And you’d be standing in my front porch light |
| I knew you’d come back to me |
| I knew you’d come back… to me |
