welcome home
her eyes glow
mistakes you've made
the plans you laid
your love, it means so much
a simple ring, your fingers touch
break away
your smile faints, and lets us through
plan it truth, it is to soon to ignore
she's not here
standing clear
in front of you
it's just a dream
times up, she's gone away
you had your time, but it won't stay
not this time
soon enough, you'll kill them all
every chance to break your fall
you'll get it in
she's the one
bright as the sun
stops you there
right on the stairs
and falling back
when stars are black
stripes on fire
there on the stairs
standing there
arm outstretched
point and glare
watching the love, fall to our feeet
into the floor to disappear
we're finding fault
you kissed her
you slept with him
or you didnt care
it all breaks
desenagrates
this is the last thing i'll take
'cause i can't face you now...
this is the end, there's nothing to keep
this is the end of you and me
as the ice comes down it's the end
as the lies come out it's the end
as the tears flow out it's the end
it's the end of you and me
and so we'll look out on the lake, and we'll see the white light
i said it was gold, it should've been gold
then maybe all the crazy things you said would have some meaning
but this thing..we have made..it can't stop, no it won't stop
'cause i can't face you now
take your troubles solo (the end of you and me)
And stripes on fire, these hands are tired. Im making plans to drink away all these words I cant escape. I have to try to make you stay. Because Im alone, stay with me this time. Because what Im feeling inside, Im troubled or maybe Im blind, but I just cant see how this is helping me. The stars are burning bright like the light that lights your eyes. Why couldnt I see that you were leaving? Because Im alone, I need someone to be my friend. But I cant take anyone who cant stay until the end. And the stars are burning bright, the smoke is rising high, the stripes are on the street, from the mountain to the sea. Because friend youve done me wrong, left the spoils to the strong and preyed upon the weak, theres an end to you and me. Because a friend can understand that theres no trust to be had. Youre just bouncing on your strings, a puppet on a screen. Im not sure when you left, but it started with that theft, it seems its been so long
