Someone Else Did

from Where Do You Want by Brilliant Beast

lyrics

Saw you at a party making the rounds, you balanced your drink as you shot through the crowd. Laughing at jokes that don't make a sound always made you feel like a spy. And I know that I caught it, just for a glint, that look in your eyes that says, "yeah, come in." I wanted to reach back to push you back to begin, but it kills me because someone else did. And I can tell a story with every lesson I've learned, because I've seen a lot and there's even less I've heard. I still touch the fire when I know that it burns and I've got to get away. Right now. But it all comes down to that Saturday night when you shot through the crowd going the speed of light and I caught your arm to take you outside. Wet the cheeks and harbor some lies. And the way you tossed your hair off to the side when you held your cigarette and I lit it to life, it all reminded me of how I never tried to fight and it kills me because someone else did. So if you open that door we can step in from the cold, we can hang our hats on that towering pole, let the past drip away like this lingering snow. We don't have to say a word. Because this life is a clock and it won't be set back and every second that passes reminds me of that. I don't care about love if it's a love I once had, I'm done living in the past. Tonight.

It gets loud. ... more
