The Line

[Verse 1]

She was the first one to go

'I’ll be back for you,' the final words she spoke

And he was the second one to leave

Whispered, 'Don’t you worry'

[Chorus]

Because time is a warm dark circle

Day is returned to the looping of the line

Night is only a passing thing

We’ll be back again when it’s right

[Verse 2]

So I take it casually now

Got a new lease on the light

I quit my job, I don’t put fires out

It’s not the way to save a life

[Verse 3]

Oh, I stripped my body

Of the hurt locker kind

I quit the ticking and the clipping of the wirеs

I no longer clock the time

[Chorus]

'Causе it’s all just a long dark circle

Day is returned to the looping of the line

Night is only a passing thing

We’ll be back again sometime

[Verse 4]

So I’m off, well, I’m sailing out

Gotta find some better light

You track the wake and you'll find what I’m about

I’ll be back when it’s right

[Verse 5]

Well, I stripped my body

Of all that made it mine

I quit the slipping on the fingers of the dial

I no longer take up time

[Chorus]

It’s all just a long dark circle

Day is returned to the looping of the line

Dying is only a passing thing

We’ll be back again sometime

We’ll be back again when it’s right
