lyrics

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name

You're the echoes of my everything,
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night.
You're the laziness of afternoon,
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom.
How will I break the news to you?
How will I break the news to you?
I love you, however,
You hold me down
You hold me down

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you, not sorry it's over
Not sorry there's nothing to say
It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love

Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...

You're the echoes of my everything,
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night.
You're the laziness of afternoon,
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom.
The leaky sink of sentiment,
You’re the failed attempts I never could forget.
Your the metaphors I can’t create to comprehend this curse that I call love
So how will I break the news to you?
How will I break the news to you?
I love you, however,
You hold me down
You hold me down

Live through this, and you won't look back...
