The Pavilion (A Long Way Back)

Carried them over your shoulders, you fear

The absence, the void you'll cause

When you choose to leave them all here

There's no turning back, it's time that you steer

The wide open stares back alone at the cusp

The self that you thought you lost, the shine that burned well into rust

You can't hear my voice cause' I'm not loud enough

Believe me, when I say

It's a long way back from here

Goodbye for now

Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough

Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?

Over and over, the light hits the dust

It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up

You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

The glistening wet concrete, the heat off the road

The clamoring hands and the bus you call home

This is it, believe what you want, in this space, I don't fit

The same day repeats with the things that you see

Dirty dressing room carpets and broken TVs

Is this it? In this water I'll tread til' the day that I'm dead

Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough

Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?

Over and over, the light hits the dust

It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up

You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

Goodbye for now, echo, echoes

Mile marker, minutes, hours

If this is it, and there is no more

And you believe that's true

Its a long way back from here

There's no going home

Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough

Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?

Over and over, the light hits the dust

It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up

You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)

Well, then ask me to stay

(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)

Well, then ask me to stay

(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)

Well, then ask me to stay

(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)

Well, then ask me to stay
