๐ Lyrics
Takes a dried up ball-point, lemon juice and water
Keeps a diary invisibly
In the kitchen corner of a basement bachelor suite
There's a certain search for certainty you know we'll never see
Her hands touch her childhood home in photos that she took
It's one more omission from a high school history book
How whole lives get knifed and pushed aside
To whom it may concern
There's a bus that's leaving half an hour from now
It won't take her where she really wants to go
So she sits there with her luggage at her side
In the empty stations of our empty lives
Take a broken bottle, take a rafter beam, or
Take a needle and a tarnished spoon
Or just words to kill off one more unheard statement
Of another dying afternoon, she says she's leaving soon
So, so long to ten hour shifts and faking sympathies
Farewell to piles of bills, unpaid utilities
All rolled up and unfurled like a flag, wake up and pack your bag
To whom it may concern
There's a bus that's leaving half an hour from now
It won't take her where she really wants to go
So she sits there with her luggage at her side
Leaving empty stations, leaving empty lives
Keeps a diary invisibly
In the kitchen corner of a basement bachelor suite
There's a certain search for certainty you know we'll never see
Her hands touch her childhood home in photos that she took
It's one more omission from a high school history book
How whole lives get knifed and pushed aside
To whom it may concern
There's a bus that's leaving half an hour from now
It won't take her where she really wants to go
So she sits there with her luggage at her side
In the empty stations of our empty lives
Take a broken bottle, take a rafter beam, or
Take a needle and a tarnished spoon
Or just words to kill off one more unheard statement
Of another dying afternoon, she says she's leaving soon
So, so long to ten hour shifts and faking sympathies
Farewell to piles of bills, unpaid utilities
All rolled up and unfurled like a flag, wake up and pack your bag
To whom it may concern
There's a bus that's leaving half an hour from now
It won't take her where she really wants to go
So she sits there with her luggage at her side
Leaving empty stations, leaving empty lives
