Watched the nails, made sure they stayed down Watched it all, lowered into the ground The fountain gone, just a baron concrete hull And always there was fear of forever drying out But when it rained, it wasn't quite same The wind would chill and the clouds came sulking in But no amount of will or force Could make the metal rain Dance like where we bathed And still all summer the storms seemed to insist That they were more Than collections of awful sounds (discordant slurs) Adopting some artistic appeal to no one So we tied the shutters down (spoke up over it) And we turned ourselves away (some needless music) We were answered with a flood (forceful, swept away) To deny attentions paid (willful sway) We conceded, it relented We've been meaning to believe it Our perceptions, implemented We thought ours was right So we put up a fight With nothing to back it up Records syncing up with the frames It's not the same Slow, you swear you could see the nails all lifting Still, you swear you could see the lid lifting Now you swear you believe it's coming back to life Laid in bed, your arm across your eyes blocks the light Every night for the past week I've tried to keep it together, to keep it alive But I know what I've done, I know what we said, and I know what we really meant If I wrote out the words to myself, I'd probably say that you're kidding yourself You'll never convince her, you'll never get over this time of your life That the truth wasn't what you said, was it? The truth wasn't so flat, was it? But even if I had written to myself I'd never have read it The sound of her crying Her voice breaking apart What you did to stop it But you couldn't stop it "Couldn't rest with this sense of duty hanging off of our chests" In a way it was for the best, to drive out of the driveway one last time And never look back We fight and never know why Still you wonder now (we concede) Every now and then (it relents) Still you wonder how (we proceed) If things were different Swear you'd never rest (without your gaze) Swear you'd not regret (the ones who take your place) Swear you'd soon forget (crossing out your name) So you tried your best (so you tried your best)
