lyrics

We can't learn anything new
This is all we know how to do
We make a gamble and then we make two

Dial tone
Die alone
We have nowhere left to call home
Our favorite memories become the first ones that we wish we could lose

We were turning a corner
Then we turned into to a wall
The reflection in the rear-view mirror was the last thing that I saw
No chance to turn over new leaves
On the last day of the Fall
Nothing that we did before will ever matter at all

She was a part of me now I am a part of myself
There's no less weight hanging your fears on someone else

Dial tone
Die alone
We build walls when we're on our own
With cannons and moats to fortify the ground we've battled to gain

We were turning a corner
Then we turned into to a wall
The reflection in the rear-view mirror was the last thing that I saw
No chance to turn over new leaves
On the last day of the Fall
Nothing that we did before will ever matter at all

I'll hold my breath before I let the water fill up my lungs
I fell asleep in the Midwest and woke up in the ocean
I'll hold my breath until the death of wishes that she'll write or call
I don't forget
The day we met
Was just the first day of the fall
