lyrics

Pinching pennies as saviors
And casting horseshoes.
On the open road the bell jar broke
The storm started blowing right on through.
It cast my life into orbit
Now the world is split in two.

Back home in a boarded market
The stained glass scattering the room
The shopkeeper swept the leaves out
Into the street with a broom.

Every exit was brilliant on this fault line
Every goodbye advice worth taking, but I never try.
Every twist was a reason to bring you with me
But not this time.

All that mattered was up those narrow stairs
Through the darkness and the girl trapped in the mirror.
Oh I know there's cardboard boxes
Suspending the time in air.

Back home in your apartment
You wait for the rain.
The shopkeeper bound the wreckage
With a chain and then he walked away.
