You say You don't know what to do about it anymore As I hang up the phone and shut the door 'Cause it's nothing new Clouds steer us down I-85 And it's not meant for us to revive You've got nerves of chrome as we drive from home today From the old tendrils that twist and bend Out of poisoned roots and weathered threads Yeah we know now, it ain't nothing new We've separated now The known place has flamed out And we're learning not to yearn for it at all The grid went spinning out There's no going back now We're burning out, unfurling through the fall One day, we won't think about it much The sky will lift up and we'll be unstuck from these sickly cycles In an old pattered loop So we'll put up with the perfect kids Who still talk too much and swing their heads Salt caught in my throat as we can both pretend Springtime in Carolina's fine And we'll find a world to redesign 'Cause I got you and that's nothing new We've separated now The known place has flamed out And we're learning not to yearn for it at all The grid went spinning out There's no going back now We're burning out, unfurling through the fall
