In the black space behind her heart
Lie the ruins of a dream she once sought,
And now that dream is gone
She don’t whisper or sing a word about that
You just divined it from the way she acts
You’d better know, if you’re gonna try to go back there
you’d better be on your guard
(Bridge)
Well it’s not easy in the year 2009
To break through to the other side
Yeah, ‘cause everybody’s short on time
I’m telling you, they’ve gotta go
For all the means of communication we’ve invented
They’re incredibly easy times to be lonely, well
I can tell you a thousand stories, ten thousand stories ‘bout that
Repeat (Bridge)
In the black space behind her heart
Lie the ruins of a dream she once sought
And now that dream is gone
