come on, where have you gone
i think you know just where i am
i think you know what i’m doing
that late afternoon
i caught you behind the school
your mind in the mid-day sun
the taking on of everyone
burning off just a little shame
in the room with the figurines
we saw the gloom was counterfeit
and saw right down to our bones

oh, it comes, and tries to leave
but never will it go completely
oh, it comes, and tries to leave
but never will it go completely
oh, it comes, and tries to leave
but never will it go completely
oh, it comes, and tries to leave
but never could it go
never could it go on time

in the room with the figurines
you were holding years too tight
and you’d turned into something strange
you turned into someone plain

oh, it comes, and tries to leave
but never will it go completely
oh, it comes, and tries to leave
but never will it go completely
oh, it comes, and tries to leave
but never will it go completely
oh, it comes, and tries to leave
but never could it go
never could it go on time

hopefully we can stop thinking about it so much
hopefully we can
hopefully we can stop thinking about it so much
hopefully we can
hopefully we can
hopefully we can stop thinking about it so much
hopefully we can
hopefully we can
hopefully we can stop thinking about it so much
hopefully we can
hopefully we can
