I cross this mesa top
And I've been here before
I see nothing's changed when my ship comes to shore
The wind comes cross the leaves
In this mountain town I see
What I've become at the crest of my dreams
I saw you here before
I had fallen in two, I had fallen for you
No excuses anymore
I screamed across the trees
My passion brought me to my knees
All at once it was clear, yes I finally believed
And the tired tattered voices
Of a tired tattered place all sing...
You're not welcome here
I find that it's just easier to leave
And play forget and disappear
From those ghosts you've hid somewhere
Our lovelorn memories just like a record on repeat
They move but they're not going anywhere
I sat amongst the stars
Crossed my fingers, counted cars
As I ran each account of the life that I lived
As I retrace those steps
I remember what you said
"There's nothing to fear in the dark that's ahead"
You're not welcome here
Counting down the days
As I slowly go insane, or so I fear
I think our time is near
Our lovelorn memories just like a record on repeat
They move but they're not going anywhere
