Lyrics

Anodyne

[Verse 1]

You threw out the past

When you threw out what was mine

Throughout the years

It was hard to make it last

[Chorus]

Anodyne

Anodyne

[Verse 2]

No sign of reconciliation

It's a quarter past the end

Full moon from on high

Across the board, we lose again

[Chorus]

Anodyne

Anodyne

[Post-Chorus]

Anodyne

You tossed it out for me to find

Without a word you're out the door

Without a reason anymore

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Two fingers on the trigger

Can break the heart of any day

Foolish to believe

It'd turn out okay

[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]

You tossed it out for me to find

Without a word you're out the door

Without a reason anymore
