LYRICS:

VERSE 1
	don't break too many hearts
	don't take too many arrows in the chest
	cry comfortably
	let us all know what you're thinking
	is there a gesture i could use
	to clearly express
	i'm at an utter loss for words
	is there a part of you that's torn
	that's larger than life
	that'll hold on for one more night

PRE CHORUS 1
	i've got a speech to make
	followed by a big parade

CHORUS
	northside, closed eyes
	all charades go on forever
	hands tied with fools pride
	in a slowly fleeing summer

VERSE 2
	just throw your hands up at the sky
	no use trying to explain this
	the clouds are mirrors, i'm disguised
	i'm not all that entertaining
	the city looks the same
	until you notice smaller changes
	it still knows us all by name
	it holds us close to its heart

PRE CHORUS 2
	all my hopes are unaligned
	this diagnosis is self-designed

CHORUS
	northside, dead eyes
	all charades go on forever.
	hands tied with past lives
	in a slowly fleeing summer.

VERSE 3
	empty rooms don't have pictures to talk to
	brickwall views demand uninspired afternoons
	the days are flooding into months
	the nights are staring into centuries

BRIDGE
	i've got some older pictures
	of people i see once every couple years
	intrigued or unamazed
	you were so much different back in those days
	and now this smile has a bitter curve

	now these eyes are unenchanted
	and all we see
	is a faded image of what we used to be.
	how can we relate

OUTRO
	when we don't know
	a thing about each other anymore
	when we don't know
	each other anymore

	is there a gesture i could use
	to clearly express
	i'm at an utter loss for words
