12 Thousand Years

12 Thousand Years Lyrics

Tuesday is ripping your heart apart
And there's not a god that can save you from the mess you're in now
Long showers and colors and dreaming and dark dark days
Turning into what became

And here you go
Walking right into walls
Like you didn't even see them
Like it wasn't even there
And there's nothing you can do
No there's nothing you can do
You drive around waiting for it to slow down
To turn into something that one day you'll just
Get to push out of the way
But there's nothing in the way

You've got one thing in your heart
But another thing is what you do with it

Come back to the window and listen
The rooftops are calling out your name down below
You can close your eyes and try
But if you don't see me now
I don't think you ever will

And here you go floating out on some goddam window sill
Screaming
Believing
There's something in you eyes for them to hold
But there's nothing there to hold
You waited 'round for some 12 fucking years
For you father to call
But if he's not called you yet
You know he's never gonna call
And there's nothing you can do

You've got one thing in your heart
But another thing is what you do with it

I just saw the sky turning red
And I thought
You'd better forget
'Cause you know it's my turn now
To walk right out on this
To walk right out on this

Tuesday is ripping your heart apart
And there's not a god that can save you from the mess you're in now
