I got to keep moving to stay 'cause I'm freezing in this room
And if I prove no good here I'll skip to where I should
It's only an imaginary vigil we keep
You salvage what you need I'll take the love you leave

I love your way
I can't explain 
What made me change

I'm wading in deeper ever deeper as I go
I drown the whole idea as I drift away from you 
It's only an imaginary vigil we keep
You salvage what you need I'll take the love you leave

I love your way
I can't explain
what made me change
I love your way

And as the memory gathers dust, buried in its crust
Are the remains of what we've done and the seed of what we've just begun
The tapping of the rain beats a corrugated drum 
And the city glows well it pulses on 1(to the city hum)/2(Until the day is done)
(x2)

I love your way
I can't explain 
what made me change
