lyrics

these walls won't talk and neither will i. time heals time and the secrets stay lost. in the cold morning sun, i asked you. i asked you. you avoided the truth just like you've always done.

tell me does summer still smell the same, and if you keep one name can i keep the other? all of these questions dividing like cancer. what is the answer? it's all such a mess.

i would rather not go, though i wish that i did
though you wish that i did, though i wish that i did.
i would rather not go, this house is not home.
your house is not home, and i would rather not go.

time cycles by past the place where i lived
but i dreamt too big, oh i dreamt too big
and the mind it says you never will, you never did
oh you never will, because you never did

i would rather not go, though i wish that i did
though you wish that i did, though i wish that i did.
i would rather not go, this house is not home.
your house is not home, and i would rather not go.
