Lyrics
EN ROUTE
I hear the door it slams behind
My back is turned his words unkind
My eyes adjust to early light
Did not intend to stay last night
Discretely passing familiar places
Recognized through hurried paces
Surprisingly I still feel numb
Emotionless till I succumb
I breath the air, it?s cold and dry
It fills my lungs from dreary sky
Icicle breath goes to my head
Explaining why no tears are shed
( It ) Would drown the thoughts I have of you
If not for one reminding clue
The smell of you around my face
Lingering from last nights embrace
I don?t know, don?t know what to feel
The cold comes from within
And I can?t drown the thought of you
When I smell you in the wind
Compose myself as if it mattered
I contemplate repeating patterns
Scrolling through a brief review
Contagious now the questions brew
Is it over? Will it snow?
My sleeplessness, does it show?
Do I turn back? Do I pretend
to even know if it?s the end?
Is he worth this frail pursuit
The truth awakens no longer mute
Break the cycle, breaking free
How cliché that now ?I see?
It?s my choice if I?m alone
Unlock the door I?m finally home
I don?t know, don?t know what to feel
The cold comes from within
And I can?t drown the thought of you
When I smell you in the wind
