We got the news

Ithica got snow

It was just that kind of day

All I know is that you've gone and left us here below

All I wish is that you'd stay



We leave this cursed city in the same way we come in

We trace the roads

On the way out, we shed our certainties like clothes



We thought this was our sacrifice

But the world knew otherwise

And took you from us

Before your time, right before our eyes



We think we're walking home

But you can't go there unless it wants you

You can stand on the streets

But still the destination haunts you

Is that where you are now?

To have believed that's truest love

Ain't it clever now that we have love and we don't have you



It took this much to make me see

Still I barely understand

Love will always, always be larger and different than our plans



Love will never listen to us

And why should it?

Love knows the score

It builds better songs than we do

It sings a better metaphor
