Mrs. Ruston
(专辑: Sweat It Out - 2008)
Mrs. Ruston, I
survived the
rest of your life Unaware, oblivious, you couldn't be down, And now you're given out the
combination code And they know Mrs. Ruston, time retired all the
lights The
electric air expired with the
night, But you're eyes are deep and cut through me Here in the
afterglow What a
show And she keeps sketching her dreams From the
back of her mind into the
souls of machines An audience breathes the
troubles she's trying to forget And these scenes, obviously Though I
don't know what they said Somehow I
know what they mean But how can I
trust the
bridge if I
didn't build it? Mrs. Ruston, he was waiting there all along What a
fool, but how could anyone think it wrong To wait, or hesitate from pushing you away, If you'd stay? And she keeps sketching her dreams From the
back of her mind into the
souls of machines An audience breathes the
troubles she's trying to forget And these scenes, obviously Though I
don't know what they said Somehow I
know what they mean But how can I
trust the
bridge if I
didn't build it? The
constellations falling slowly from the
sky With blurry edges through the
tears that fill your eyes You'd like to catch them, but you're too afraid to try, 'Cause it might be worth the
effort But it's just not worth the
time Mrs. Ruston, life resides inside of the
grey And every step reminds me what you said About losing touch with those you love And giving yourself away Every day And she keeps sketching her dreams From the
back of her mind into the
souls of machines An audience breathes the
troubles she's trying to forget And these scenes, obviously Though I
don't know what they said Somehow I
know what they mean But how can I
trust the
bridge if I
didn't build it? When she keeps quiet and clean, Despite the
impact, in fact it's all that she needs As an ambulance screams a
choir to silence the
regrets, This one dream, evidently, Was like a
flashback trip that was stealing the
scene But how can I
trust the
bridge if I
didn't build it?
