[Verse 1] Two cups on the counter, one gone cold Your coat on the hook still holds your shape Mold in the sink, a week of plates Eleven steps, and I still can't reach [Pre-Chorus] Headlights crawl across the ceiling Your key scrapes in the lock I rehearse it in my throat Then choke on every word [Chorus] Dead end, brake lights bleeding on the brick Dead end, knuckles white, nowhere to go Turn around, turn around We pass like ghosts, palm to glass How did it come so far? How did it come so far? [Verse 2] The café by the station, corner table Your spoon stirs a cup that's long been empty I read the menu twice, you read your hands The clock above the counter eats what's left of us [Pre-Chorus] Rain runs down the window, slow You laugh at something small My hand lifts, then it drops Back into my coat, a fist [Chorus] Dead end, brake lights bleeding on the brick Dead end, knuckles white, nowhere to go Turn around, turn around We pass like ghosts, palm to glass How did it come so far? Nothing here! Nothing here! [Bridge] Dirt under my nails, nothing grows Boards rot where we laid them down I said the small thing, said it to the wall It hardened into quiet Who turned first? Who turned first? [Final Chorus] Dead end, and the engine's gone cold Dead end, the door won't open now Turn around, turn around There's nothing left to turn to We pass like ghosts, glass to glass [Whispered] This is how it ends [Outro] Eleven steps Eleven steps I stopped counting
