Lyrics

Verse:

And now I?ve finally found out
that I did not have my fingers wrapped around you like I thought
and now I?ve finally
figured out that vie been chasing after you
all along this time through all this time
You?ve been just fine
moving on with your life
while I?m stuck writing these repetitive rhymes
nonsensical to life, in a crowded room of five
where no one is listening but you.

Chorus:

These wounded wings have wounded things to me
I'm gonna retrace and replace until you come back to me

Verse:

Well isn?t it strange the way things change
things they never seem to stay the same
no matter what the words you say to me
this autumn sky shall bring release
this fall has sunk into defeat
then winter spring then summer too
then shall retreat
it is so sad the way time goes
it is so sad to this distant road
that?s bringing us quicker now but further from our mold
Where is this time that fears?
Where is this time that feels the pain it feels to be without you?

Chorus:

These wounded wings have wounded things to me
I?m gonna retrace and replace until you come back to me.
Here is where you belong
and I fear my dear, you?re moving on.

Cause I?m almost tired of being my self out loud
and I?ve almost cried enough
but no one is letting me get back to great you
and if I die before the time this reaches your ears
and replaces your fears
With trust again trust again
and solace of my only reason for
living and loving and breathing
it all stays the same
no matter what the people here say
