Lyrics
Everytime the day darkens down
And goes away, pictures open
In my head of me and you
Silent and cliche all the things
We did and didn’t say
Covered up, by what we did and didn’t do
Going through
Every hour I used to cope to make
The repetition stop
What was I supposed to say?
Oh
Now I never leave my zone, we’re both alone
I’m going home
I wish I’d never seen your face
Note
Jon Brion accompanies Elliott on this song in the XO version.
