[Verse 1] Traversing what's real and make-believe always the danger of what feels ideal Invited in by words alone solitude dressed like a second home The ride's intoxicating before it collides perfect in the beginning and in the end full of human nature Now, on the long drive home awareness echoes in stereo through headlight glare and hypnotizing snow. [Refrain] And the passersby wonder why... What they don't know, they cannot deny. Shadows move through secluded eyes The truth survives in passersby [Verse 2] Avoiding what once was and what could have been... Her reflection returns in twilight again... Brainstorming half-baked hope and borrowed fear raise an empty glass to quiet what we hear [Refrain] And the passersby wonder why... What they don't know, they cannot deny. Shadows move through secluded eyes The truth survives in passersby [Bridge] Wayward souls dance on a steep ledge too close to the edge... A hand reaches them in the nick of time, but the spell wears off and cuts the line No more dangling No more disguising Only falling in a dream (better wake up) [Final Chorus] And the passersby wonder why... What they don’t know they cannot deny The truth survives with alibis Best not to know Let them down slow [Outro] Laid out thin full and deep headlights fading into sleep Snow changes to rain tires trudge through slush reminding us... no pain... no closure... no pain... no closure... no pain... no closure... no pain... no closure...
