lyrics

I don’t want to cause any more pain
But I walked around the reservoir and it was like I heard your name
From the plants growing through the ice in this endless frozen Boston January

I know with what I’ve done and said I should be ashamed
And you know me; you know I am, I know exactly who’s to blame
It doesn’t help but I never meant any of it to hurt you like it did
(But it did)

The water’s frozen solid
And I’m alone again quite naturally
And I never really got it
I never really saw what you saw in me
And I’ve gotta tell you
None of this turned out the way I hoped it would

I don’t want to pour salt on the same raw skin
But I walked around the reservoir
And thought of you again;
Those flowers growing through the ice, like not everything that gets cold dies
In a place like this
In a place like this

Where I don’t feel the fears that stop me
I don’t let the current drop me
I know it’s too late to take anything back
I want to give you better than that
But I’ll settle for getting
Settle for getting
Settle for getting older
And wiser
At the same time
At the same time
