The Gaslight Anthem - This Is Where We Part lyrics

Blazing through the cinder wearing nothing but the future on his sleeve Wallow in nostalgia, in your tiny universe reigning supreme And they caught you running scared of the drum inside your head Beating with the past, not with your heart Another fire's just been lit Another set's been blown to bits An indifferent ending to the perfect start And this is where we part This is where we part Let's not loop the subject Or keep dwelling in your stories anymore Granted we're above it, then why is there such a need to tell them so And what went through your mind to think I'm naturally inclined Knowing all these songs and have 'em sung by heart And the plain truth of it all Is we heed two different calls A match made in the wrong term drawing straw And this is where we part Waltz around these burdens thinking this is all it's ever gonna be With a strange sense of entitlement by something ominous to me And they hang on every word, a complacent raconteur All I can hear is hurt taken too far I've seen folks in the road before And I'm not intrigued no more By memory lane and what it does to the heart (And they hang on every word, a complacent raconteur) This is where we part (All I can hear is her take it too far) This is where we part (I've seen folks in the road before and I'm not intrigued no more) This is where we part (By memory lane and what it does to the heart)
