lirik lagu the weakerthans – this is a fire door, never leave open
[verse 1]
headlights race towards the corner of the dining room
and half illuminate a face before they disappear
you breathe in forty years of failing to describe a feeling
i breathe out smoke against a window
trace the letters in your name
[pre-chorus]
our letters sound the same
full of all our changing
that isn’t change at all
all straight lines circle sometime
[verse 2]
you said, “somewhere, there’s a box full of replacement parts
to all the tenderness we’ve broken or let rust away.”
somewhere, sympathy is more than just a way of leaving
somewhere, someone says, “i’m sorry.”
someone’s making plans to stay
[pre-chorus]
so tell me it’s okay
tell me anything
or show me there’s a pull
un-ssailable
[chorus]
that will lead you there from the dark alone
to benevolence that you’ve never known
or you knew when you were four and can’t remember
where a small knife tears out those sloppy seams
and the silence knows what your silence means
and your metaphors, as mixed as you can make them
are linked like days, together
[pre-chorus]
i still hear trains at night when the wind is right
i remember everything
l!ck and thread this string
[chorus]
that will never mend you or tailor more
than a memory of a kitchen floor
or the fire door that we kept propping open
and i love this place: the enormous sky
and the faces, hands that i’m haunted by
so why can’t i forgive these buildings
these frameworks labeled home?
[outro]
headlights race towards the corner of the dining room
and half illuminate a face before they disappear
