You planted roses in the ashes But the roots caught fire Painted over all the windows Still the smoke climbs higher You hung the moon above the doorway Like you forgot about the night But a borrowed constellation makes a different sky If you’re starting over, start where the river bends Let the water flow And forget where it ends But you stress about tomorrow in yesterday’s clothes Tryin to teach new hearts old goodbyes leavin’ the past again I watched you build a house of mirrors Every room reflected gold You had us in the first half But walls were build of photographs And the Polaroids are old Tying ribbons tight for the look Painting ruin yellow to black and blue Babe, a flower pressed between the same spot in a book Gives us Nothing new A new page grew leaves that fell for it in spring Silly, making wishes on shooting stars Like it’s all brand new Oh, so brand new oceans don’t ask the shorelines To remember every wave new beginnings can get mean - You’ll get tired bringing back your saves If you’re starting over, start where the river ends Let the water flow And forget where it bends But you stress about tomorrow soaked in yesterday’s clothes Tryin to teach new hearts with bitter goodbyes Reachin’ for the past again and again Over and over again No borrowed light No borrowed skin apparitions guised as innocence still haunt you in the end Over and over again
