lyrics

I took pictures
At the wedding
And I fell into the pond If
I drown I'll be forgiven
I was thinking as I sunk

But didn't I act like it rained?
Who did I try to persuade?
No need to kick in open doors
There's a reason
There's a riddle to be solved
It changed us
It changed us into us

It started out a grain of sand
But somehow it snowballed
I guess anything is relative
Until it's not at all
I never found a way to trace the breadcrumbs to their source
I finally appreciate
The freedom that it cost us
Who wouldn't have loved to remain
A perfectly planned out mistake
Time wasn't enough to tip the scales
But I really think it added to the weight
I could see the end beginning to take shape
It changed us
It changed us into us

We’re practicing acceptance
Sweeping wars under the rug
From opinion to the sentence
From the sentence
To the true crime judge
A suspended drunk policeman
Sitting fingering his gun
In the backseat of the dealer’s
You were right behind my eyes
I just tried to make it right

But even if I could explain
What else would there be left to say?
It was all there in the cards
And though the decks were stacked
The game rigged from the start
I just couldn't keep my head and heart apart
And I couldn't face myself
In that bathroom mirror haze
Looking for something misplaced
I walked out that open door
And it changed us
It changed us into us
