lyrics

well that's where it started
and I guess that's how it ends
rummaging through mystical ruins
rescuing tokens of friendships lost

if the past is a jigsaw puzzle
these are its pieces lying about
I've kept restaurant bills and ticket stubs
but most of the ink has rubbed out

and I've always been pretty nostalgic
but I'm also allergic to dust
so I sneeze as I cradle old photographs
my eyes redden when I think of us

armed with stapling guns
we begged for permanence
but you left on that day in the fall
and I haven't seen you since

an old calendar wheel from my mother
stretching some fifty odd years
and her casual remark that she'd be gone by then
that brought and still brings me to tears

I chew on these moments slowly
watch them unfold and unfold me
time and again, till my throat hurts
the air bloats and it all starts to blur

I'm taken to every fork, every accident
every new morning was sweet as it came and went
but all things' finality makes me feel a mess
slightly meaningless
askew
is this just all it amounts to?
