The Roses - November 11/midday/étude lyrics

Time ran out on the thoughts you hid I learned the lesson you never did And then i guess you kind of got kicked out of the band There was no one to disguise you, no one to hold your hand And it hurt, and you fled, and you took those thoughts and you watched them burn And you pushed me, and i fell down, and you cried out in the name of her It seems that we are infinite, yet we're infinite in stride We all need a joint of refuge, we all need somewhere to hide We have yet to grow We have yet to learn And those we hold Will soon be left to burn And we're driving in your car And we're deciding who we are We are young, and it is still dawn Brother, you are older than i, but the day's still young We stood together in the midnight sun You had your doubts, and i had none Time slowed down, and then came the seventh day I turned 'round, and you had gone away And it hurt, my brain left, and there he stood in the pounding rain Lost amid the ruin of the echo of a proud disdain And the rain kept pound-pound-pounding without end And i guess it sound-sound-sounds like we are friends But there's a cold, cold draft In this fair trial's flame Someone's bright, bright ice Has rendered us in shame And we're hiding on our shelves Only confiding in ourselves We are young, and we are not rid of thoughts forlorn But wipe away that tear, my dear, for it is still morn And all my friends have been let down Like they could cleanse my conscience now Our confusion is now equal but in age, my delusion is now all that's left to gage And it hurts to go back, but ere high noon it must be done In memory of the frontiers crossed, and the corrals won Appraisal cannot wait another year, lost in gratitude, apology and fear And the music plays As the war rages on And my lone defense Is the power of song And the things i thought they took Were simply those for which i look They are love I can look 'till twilight now, it is but midday It is but midday
