No Re-Entry

No re-etnry- December 8, 2005

Do you remember how we were?
It somehow feels so long ago
And we could have done much better
But we were much too young to know

Like children playing dress up
In older people’s roles
Led by desire, we played our games
We played with fire, went down in flames

You always said
Some books are better left unread
I always said
Some tears are better left unshed
And I really didn’t expect this
I thought we had agreed
That once you’ve left the party
There’s no re-entry

And I, who’s always held my own
once again am held by you
And I who never once looked back
Am overwhelmed by deja-vue

Cause now you’re lying in my bed
My body caught in your embrace
I feel your breath blow through my hair
Your hand is soft upon my face

And I remember
I can’t help but remember

You always said
Some books are better left unread
I always said
Some some tears are better left unshed
And I really didn’t expect this
I thought we had agreed
That once you’ve left the party
There’s no re-entry

I wish I could say it was the first time
I wish I could say it was the last time
I wish I could say I regretted it at all
I wish I could say I knew better than to fall
Again…

And what am I supposed to say?
What would you like me to do?
I can’t spend my nights and days
Crying over you

And so you’ll leave my life again
And I won’t beg you to stay
But once you walk away this time
Just fucking stay away

And so I said
Some books are better left unread
You said- that's great
Let's talk about it in your bed
And I just don't understand it
I don't want to believe
There’s no point looking back again
There’s nothing left to grieve
But this time when you leave my heart
There’s no re-entry
