Every Road Leads Back To You

from NO END by That Dream Was Our Life

/

about

There's a term for the phenomenon of seeing something everywhere. Last year I kept seeing foxes in art, media, & real life; this year it was a city I'm consciously trying to avoid. The bridge in this song is also musically inspired by "Who Let The Dogs Out". I'm not kidding!

lyrics

Broken mirrors, fractured smoke
Ballet dancers & bachelorettes
You get so lonely, everything's a joke
Night spirals like pirouettes

Eyes cloudy & faithless
When you're lost or you just don't know
This world is more than secrets
But truth fades like afterglow

This is where I lose my nerve
I don't know how to tell the truth
I don't think that this is gonna work
When every road leads back to you

Twice my hope is still nothing
A whisper from inside the tomb
Try to make it count for something
I love the way red looks on you

This is where I lose my nerve
I don't know how to tell the truth
I don't think that this is gonna work
When every road leads back to you

I don't know how to find my nerve
I always try to fight the truth
I don't know how to make this work
When every road leads back to you

Sometimes all that we're good for
Is a momentary glimpse
Holding on to you is like when I wake up & I try to make a fist

This is where I lose my nerve
I don't know how to tell the truth
I don't think that this is gonna work
When every road leads back to you

I don't know how to find my nerve
I always try to fight the truth
I don't know how to make this work
When every road leads back to you
