And now I finally see
That the further we go
We're only treading ground
That we already know

I could write you a song, send you a note
Or empty out your trash
And buy a bucket full of diamonds
But even the most beautiful of all roses
Must someday crumble to dust and fade away
It's a certain tragedy

So it's on into the lonely nights
And all the rest of it
The empty space between me
And the sunken walls
And feeling someone's hand around my neck
Choking away the life that I have left

And I can finally see
That the further I go
I'm only treading ground
That I don't wanna know

I'll probably hang upside-down
From wooden rafters in my home
And look at old photos of you

So it's on into the lonely nights
And all the rest of it
The empty space between me
And the sunken walls
And feeling someone's hand around my neck
Choking away the life that I have left

I miss the warmth of the summer
When we were on our own
But now it's winter and my bones are cold

And now I finally see
That the further we go
We're only treading ground
That we already know

I could write you a song, send you a note
Or empty out your trash
And buy a bucket full of diamonds
But even the most beautiful of all roses
Must someday crumble to dust and fade away

It's a certain tragedy
