a couple ships in the night
The whole world it loves you if you;re a chic chameleon
Intersecting circles, he could hang with anyone
But when conducting business he would lie about where he’s from
Saying, "Life is how it is not how it was"
I learned to listen felt like I was back at school
He’d talk forever about the phases of the moon
Sayin, "Everything's a cycle, you gotta let it come to you
And when it does, you will know what to do"
Without even knowing I guess I took up his advice
Painted my window, it seemed a suitable goodbye
It’s not that often but I think of him sometimes
Just something quaint, a couple ships in the night
And they keep moving at a glacial pace
Turning circles in a memory maze
I made a new cast of the death mask that's gonna cover my face
I had to change the combination to the safe
Hide it all behind a wall, let people wait
And never trust a heart that's so bent it can’t break
