Talisman

[Verse 1] I go out sometimes and I don't wanna talk I watch people make each other laugh Keeping my coat on, red light spilling into dawn Walking to the train wishing I could forget my name [Verse 2] I find myself and I'm wrong Save the hunter, kill the fawn I find myself and I'm right Blinking in the harsher light Nothing's coming easy If it did, I'd pass it up every time [Chorus] Going back again Telling the old stories, looking out before me The future's always blurry Going back in time I see everything fine Maybe that's why I've been making stories my whole life [Verse 3] I can still remember it, the place I grew up in We moved a lot, the image being more of a talisman I hold when it gets dark, a place I can imagine It's as real as anything that has or hasn't happened [Chorus] Going back again Telling the old stories, looking out before me The future's always blurry Going back in time I see everything fine Maybe that's why I've been making stories my whole life [Outro] What is there to do except to write it down? When I'm through, there's nothing left Nothing but the sound
