The Riot Before - Tinnitus lyrics

A couple rings, brief message, then the tone “Hello it's me, it's been so long, I'll be home Just one night next week we should meet up grab some drinks and maybe food I would love to see you” An hour late, I should have known, it's so you To make me wait, to cause scene, when you walk in the room Watch the heads all turn in silence as the conversations cease You'd smile, then sit by me Another drink I stir, restless thoughts drift away To car windows, defrosters, secluded space And the light on the edge of the sky as it creeps over mountains and plains The coming of dawn and the time that remains The loudest of songs you should never let fade But the silence you left is so deafening My ears won't stop ringing We owned the unrestraint Of summer's sudden rain Foolish minds will make their plans But restless hearts don't stand a chance I loved you once but I just couldn't stay The wrong end lit of cigars unclipped We failed on the beach that night to smoke Then threw away, blushed laughing, naively hope That the light on the edge of the sky wouldn't spread over mountains and plains The coming of dawn how it k**s what remains The loudest of songs you should never let fade The silence you left is so deafening My ears won't stop ringing And not follow the roads out to their unpaved ends Just to find you asleep in my bed I left to chase the distant horizon I chose to regret you instead Still alone at the bar waiting for you to show Keep watching the door but I already know Pay my tab find the floor with stumbling feet Make my way through the crowd to the quiet street My ears won't stop ringing I loved you once but I had to leave It's what I tell myself at night Before I fall asleep with cold sheets by my side
