The Weakerthans - This Is A Fire Door Never Leave Open Lyrics

Headlights race towards the corner of the dining room.

Half illuminate a face before they disappear.

You breathe in forty years of failing to describe a feeling.

I breathe out smoke against the window trace the letters in your name.

Our letters sound the same;

Full of all our changing that isn't change at all.

All straight lines circle sometime.

You said "somewhere there's a box full of replacement parts

To all the tenderness we've broken or let rust away.

Somewhere sympathy is more than just a way of leaving.

Somewhere someone says 'i'm sorry.'

Someone's making plans to stay."

So tell me it's okay.

Tell me anything or show me there's a pull

Unassailable that will lead you there

From the dark alone benevolence that you've never known

Or you knew when you were four and can't remember.

Where a small knife tears out those sloppy seams

And the silence knows what you silence means

And your metaphors (as mixed as you can make them)

Are linked like days together.

I still hear trains at night when the wind is right.

I remember everything lick

And thread this string that will never mend you

Or tailor more than a memory of a kitchen floor

Or the fire-door that we kept propping open.

And i love this place; the enormous sky

And the faces hands that i'm haunted by

So why can't i forgive these buildings

These frameworks labeled "home"?
