How the feelings will fade
And no longer resist
The distance that comes
With all of those things that we missed
I remember the place
Where we first met
When we sat and we talked
Til no one was left
When the bartender said:
"I'm sorry, but I need my rest"
We're closed down
We're closed down
You gotta go somewhere else
We're closed down
We took our hopes home to rest
In the same place
Not in the same spot
You cheat a little
I cheat a lot
Convincing myself that I'm honest
When I know that I'm not
So, you drown out your anger
You drown out your fear
When the shit hits the fan
Somehow steer your way clear
But this path keeps on twisting
Year after year after year
Til you're closed down
You're closed down
You shut it all out
You're closed down
Forgetting what love was about
There's a car on the road
With it's wheels turning stuck
The driver he's cursing
He slams the door shut
It's a quiet frustration
That leads us down into this rut
The headlights stream in
They light up your face
I want to jump in my car
And drive it away
But the motor turns over
Slowly, it brings you to wake
To close down
You can hear the ghosts making their rounds
The buildings are crumbling
They're walking the grounds
We're tearing down what we've made
Without making a sound
So lets jump in that car
Escape while we can
From this drift that's become
An avalanche
I don't want to buried
With these ghosts
Who don't understand
Why we closed down
We closed down
We clsoed down
Closed down
I forgot why we started this... How the feelings will fade And no longer resist The distance that comes With all of those things that we missed I remember the place Where we first met When we sat and we talked Til no one was left When the bartender said: "I'm sorry, but I need my rest" We're closed down We're closed down You gotta go somewhere else We're closed down We took our hopes home to rest In the same place Not in the same spot You cheat a little I cheat a lot Convincing myself that I'm honest When I know that I'm not So, you drown out your anger You drown out your fear When the shit hits the fan Somehow steer your way clear But this path keeps on twisting Year after year after year Til you're closed down You're closed down You shut it all out You're closed down Forgetting what love was about There's a car on the road With it's wheels turning stuck The driver he's cursing He slams the door shut It's a quiet frustration That leads us down into this rut The headlights stream in They light up your face I want to jump in my car And drive it away But the motor turns over Slowly, it brings you to wake To close down You can hear the ghosts making their rounds The buildings are crumbling They're walking the grounds We're tearing down what we've made Without making a sound So lets jump in that car Escape while we can From this drift that's become An avalanche I don't want to buried With these ghosts Who don't understand Why we closed down We closed down We clsoed down Closed down Explain Request ×
