The Shins
The Waltz Is Over
That hue in the sky
Just a glimpse of another life
Are barely missed by some stupid collection
Life's random dominoes, if it only been more aggressive
Oh and it burns me up
My friends might as well have pissed in my cup
Cause they knew and they never spoke up
You wanted the same as I did and I never will forgive them
Is there something I'm failing to see
A message in the stars
Secrets lying hidden from me
Not sure what they are, but they're keeping us apart
She had Wilson Pickett's best on 45
And one night, you know, she gave me ride
To my place and we were all alone
But I still neglected to mention
Is there something I'm failing to see
A message in the stars
Secrets lying hidden from me
Not sure where they are
Tell me am I always to be, watching from a far
Cause your image breaks my heart
Now the waltz is over
Passed into the clover
Now the waltz is over
Passed into the clover
Cause the day will finally come
When time will have rendered me numb
Maybe then I can put it down
Let me linger for a moment now
Collect some details to recall
Some part of life before it all
Fades into the darkness
Is there something I'm failing to see
A message in the stars
Secrets lying hidden from me
And I'm not sure where they are
Tell me am I always to be, watching from a far
Cause your image breaks my heart
