Lyrics
You lean when I lean
You follow my lead
Back and forth like tides
Swaying back and forth like ocean tides
Finding my feet
Discovering my stability
Admit defeat
Accepting failure
Losing all control
Losing command over the situation
It’s all thoughtless consequence
All actions without careful consideration
Am I reading it wrong?
Am I misinterpreting the situation?
Maybe it was all in my head
Perhaps it was all a product of my imagination
I never wanted to be your keepsake
I never desired to be a memento for you
So put me in a jar
Place me in a container
Seal it tighter now
Seal it securely
I couldn’t tell myself to just stay quiet
I couldn't convince myself to remain silent
I guess it’s not my time
Maybe it's not my moment
Save me for another night
Reserve me for another time
You lean when I lean
You imitate my actions
I lose every time
I consistently end up losing
I sip from your mind
I draw inspiration from your thoughts
While I slip from your mind
While I fade from your thoughts
Never a surprise
Nothing is unexpected
History repeats itself now
Patterns from the past are recurring
When the hand hits the twelve
When the clock strikes twelve
Rest me safely on the shelf
Place me securely on the shelf
I never wanted to be your keepsake
I never wanted to be a token of your memories
So put me in a jar
Place me in a container
Seal it tighter now
Seal it even more tightly now
I couldn’t tell myself to just stay quiet
I couldn't restrain myself from speaking out
I guess it’s not my time
Maybe it's not the right moment for me
Save me for another night
Keep me for another time
- And you fall away
- And you distance yourself
You’re not mine
You are not meant for me
I was so close this time
I was very close to success this time
I never wanted to be your keepsake
I never aspired to be a token of your memories
So put me in a jar
Place me in a container
Seal it tighter now
Seal it even more tightly now
I couldn’t tell myself to just stay quiet
I couldn't restrain myself from speaking out
I guess it’s not my time
Maybe it's not the right moment for me
Save me for another night
Keep me for another time
