Hey, I guess I never really ever could say
That I saw it coming
But when you push a feeling far away
Still your body's humming
And I held it in
Long as I could then
But now all that's changing
So, I guess you never truly ever can know
Where on earth you're heading
You just barrel on down that road
Til that road starts bending
Here we are again
Not a bitter end
But the end of something

Hey, I'm gonna whisper these words right into your sleeve
Gonna open up a portal from you back to me
Gonna take it all the way from the back of our bay
To the top of the empire of our state

Well, I guess I know a thing or two about hell
It's when you lose your fire
You go back to the same old well
Without the same desire
I've been treading earth
From the time of birth
You can't stop this turning

Hey, I'm gonna whisper these words right into your sleeve
Gonna open up a portal from you back to me
Gonna take it all the way from the back of our bay
To the top of the empire of our state

So gee, I guess anyone could've been me
Staring at my reflection
Wanting just a little bit of relief
From my self-deception
There's no more I can run
This is how it's done
You just start all over

Hey, I'm gonna whisper these words right into your sleeve
Gonna open up a portal from you back to me
Gonna take it all the way from the back of our bay
To the top of the empire of our state
