Fairmount

Oh crashing aeroplane, where were you the day she left me?
Oh crashing aeroplane, where were you the day she left?
Where were you the day she left me?
Oh crashing aeroplane, where were you?

Underneath the laughs there lies a need
That nobody is getting
And an honesty that doesn’t stretch far enough
To show us all how much this will mean to us, my dear
And when we’re old we’ll tell ourselves that we did
Everything that we could to save this
But now, we do nothing

I’ve slept for twenty years, but I’ve acted strong at least
If you’re leaving again, then you’re leaving again
And you’re gone
And I feel nothing anymore, so just keep walking away
Thirty-thousand steps
I’ll watch you for every second and never feel alone

And I’ve been sleeping
For at least the last two years
My dear, my princess, my sister, my lover, my friend
I made you a bed of thorns for every rose you ever left outside my door
That’s all you ever left me

Lay your scars out in rows
Lay your scars out in rows
Lay your scars out in rows
To show me what I’ve done to you

Lay your scars out in rows
Lay your scars out in rows
It was my weakness that couldn’t save us

So lay your scars out in rows
So lay your scars out in rows
So lay your scars out in rows for me

Rows
Rows
Rows

We were one
We were one, and what are we now?
What are we now?

Act strong, at least
And don’t turn around
If I’m leaving, then I’m leaving
And I’m leaving, and I’m gone

We move as one
