lyrics

Well I locked it all away just like I've always done before
Sold the rest of the memories down to the record store
You can have what's left because the meanings all have changed
I'll keep a book of matches and a can of gasoline

And set it off
Watch the history burn up to the sky
No more conversations wondering why
The past is gone and with it you and I
So why can't I?

Kicking through the rubble after the ash has blown away
I loaded up the back seat because it's time to move again
Strip the foundation back to just an empty space
Erasing any traces of the life that we had made
I blocked the rearview mirror out for good
I threw away the stories like we should

And set it off
Watch the history burn up to the sky
No more conversations wondering why
The past is gone and with it you and I
So why can't I?

And set it off
Watch the history burn up to the sky
No more conversations wondering why
The past is gone and with it you and I
So why can't I?
