Carved

I bailed out on my friends

For the fourth time this year

I don’t know why anymore

It’s comfortable here

And it keeps me out of trouble

It keeps me from doing wrong

It’s easier to keep on coasting along

She’s walking back in the rain

No money for a ride

Spent the last of her pay

To try and feel alive

Will she look into my window

Will she keep on walking by

She stumbles on the kerb as a turn out the light

Will we ever know

What it’s like without

This old routine

Did we choose it or

Was it chosen before

We learnt to speak

Will we ever know

What it’s like without

This old routine

Did we choose it or

Was it chosen before

We learnt to speak

How are we supposed to know

Each other when we’ve both been told we’re

Carved into a stone

Before the seeds are sewn

When we look back on it all

When time is running out

Were we locked in a cage

Or were we breaking out

Did we make it last forever

Did we grow grey and old

Or did you walk away that night in the cold

Will we ever know

What it’s like without

This old routine

Did we choose it or

Was it chosen before

We learnt to speak

How are we supposed to know

Each other when we’ve both been told we’re

Carved into a stone

Before the seeds are sewn

Will we ever know

What it’s like without

This old routine

Did we choose it or

Was it chosen before

We learnt to speak

How are we supposed to know

Each other when we’ve both been told we’re

Carved into a stone

Before the seeds are sewn
