You looked at me through old windows
And said, "Dust is all I know"
And you're so clean and I'm so tired
Like lovers' smiles and green marker miles

Can't go back
That's much too far
I'm asking you to laugh but after all
You love a tragedy

Hope remains a sidewalk star
Could you stay right where you are
You're so smooth and I'm on fire
Holding on, just watching it unwind

Can't go back
That's much too far
I'm asking you to laugh but after all
You love a tragedy

Can't go back
That's much too far
I'm asking you to laugh but after all, after all
You love a tragedy
