Ending Time Songtext
von The Lazarus Plot

Moon drops at midnight
And I know it′s so much longer
This is the season of the broken laugh
And wistful eyes wandering up and down silvery sidewalks

This is the time of the year
That isn't ever supposed to end
Like the time you remembered your name
In the middle of a rainstorm

But they′re so fleeting
So helplessly fleeting
Fighting, and fingering, and floating
Straight out of my arms

This is the time
When you turn away
And walk down the shadowy sidewalk


As a reply to a question
I forgot to ask
This is the ending time
The ending time
The moment you reach the front of the line

It's these sudden strolls
These shallow pathways that lead us to
To the yesterday that gains some sense at last

It's the love on your lips fighting the wince on your face
It′s these late night obvious goodbyes that make me so shy

The deliberate musings that burn my skin
It′s also lasting, so lasting
This room and this taste
And the grass clinging to my clothes

This time, it won't end
Though it wants to
And it begs the aching trees
That we find ourselves in just one more lasting season
Of heartbreaking walks down, swollen streets once more

Don′t leave

It's these shallow pathways
That lead us to yesterday


Once more, and I won′t tell a soul
It's a way to lonely leaves and the slamming of car doors
Of a memory escaping these fumbling fingertips
It′s time to blow a kiss goodnight to lying side by side
Damp bodies smiling at stars
And a field of broken glass and lip stains
It's at these sweet seconds I'm able to stoop down, catch my breath
And stare at you directly in the face
