[Verse 1]
Well, I guess the darkest nights will hide their stars
but lately your cloudy skies are the crowded bars
and Iâve been squinting at the distance,
waiting for the light to break,
worried, dear, about how long that might take
[Verse 2]
Godâs been closing windows and slamming doors
The rain keeps leaking in, what the hell was that house for?
Love came at so high a cost that you could not afford
so now youâre throwing up your hands and feet are kicking up a storm
[Pre-Chorus]
But thereâs still light in your eyes
Itâs small, but it still shines
[Chorus]
There is nothing in the past that you belong to
and even if the memories come and find you
Well, it is not their task to try and rescue whatâs left,
whatâs left of your joy
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
What if the valleyâs too wide to hold your dreams?
What if your heart has grown too dull to gleam?
What if itâs ancestral; itâs running through your jeans?
Itâs all too much and now youâre bursting at the seams
[Pre-Chorus]
But thereâs still light in your eyes
Itâs faint, but it still shines
[Chorus]
There is nothing in the past that you belong to
and even if the memories come and find you
Well, it is not their task to try and rescue whatâs left,
whatâs left of your joy
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Your sorrow does not flatter you even if the tears are true
Iâve seen you sing your way through deeper blues
Sacred songs and holy water, they donât last long enough to bother
So all the things you miss just wash from the surface
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
There is nothing in the past that you belong to
and even if the memories come and find you
Well, it is not their task to try and rescue whatâs left,
whatâs left of your joy
What is left of your joy?
[Outro]
