LYRICS:

VERSE 1
        don't break too many hearts
        don't take too many arrows in the chest
        cry comfortably
        let us all know what you're thinking
        is there a gesture i could use
        to clearly express
        i'm at an utter loss for words
        is there a part of you that's torn
        that's larger than life
        that'll hold on for one more night

PRE CHORUS 1
        i've got a speech to make
        followed by a big parade

CHORUS
        northside, closed eyes
        all charades go on forever
        hands tied with fools pride
        in a slowly fleeing summer

VERSE 2
        just throw your hands up at the sky
        no use trying to explain this
        the clouds are mirrors, i'm disguised
        i'm not all that entertaining
        the city looks the same
        until you notice smaller changes
        it still knows us all by name
        it holds us close to its heart

PRE CHORUS 2
        all my hopes are unaligned
        this diagnosis is self-designed

CHORUS
        northside, dead eyes
        all charades go on forever.
        hands tied with past lives
        in a slowly fleeing summer.

VERSE 3
        empty rooms don't have pictures to talk to
        brickwall views demand uninspired afternoons
        the days are flooding into months
        the nights are staring into centuries

BRIDGE
        i've got some older pictures
        of people i see once every couple years
        intrigued or unamazed
        you were so much different back in those days
        and now this smile has a bitter curve

        now these eyes are unenchanted
        and all we see
        is a faded image of what we used to be.
        how can we relate

OUTRO
        when we don't know
        a thing about each other anymore
        when we don't know
        each other anymore

        is there a gesture i could use
        to clearly express
        i'm at an utter loss for words
