[Verse 1: Brian Aubert, Nikki Monninger]
Stop the season, stop the sting
A plastic mic, a broken string
Infected wound from a rusty ring, so what
Soon, you'll be there too
Soon, you'll be there too
[Verse 2: Brian Aubert]
Kissing families can't recall
A program to derail us all
Forgotten prison, it's been safe 'til now
[Chorus: Brian Aubert]
It's no wonder that we did it this way
Kept looking forwards on paths sideways
It's everything that is connected and beautiful
And now I know just where I stand
Move on
Roll along
Not today
It's everything that is connected and beautiful
And now I know just where I stand
Thank god your heart is too close
[Bridge: Brian Aubert & Nikki Monninger]
This can be the bitter end
I know it won't
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Brian Aubert]
Well someone said I made a mistake
Kept looking forwards on paths sideways
It's everything that is connected and beautiful
And now I know just where I stand
Well seasons always shift too late
Spent too much time now on paths sideways
Everything that is connected and beautiful
And now I know just where I stand
Thank god it's over
