"This Is Where We Part" lyrics - THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM

Blazing through the cinder wearing nothing but the future on his sleeve
Wallow in nostalgia, in your tiny universe reigning supreme
And they caught you running scared of the drum inside your head
Beating with the past, not with your heart
Another fire's just been lit
Another set's been blown to bits
An indifferent ending to the perfect start
And this is where we part
This is where we part

Let's not loop the subject
Or keep dwelling in your stories anymore
Granted we're above it, then why is there such a need to tell them so
And what went through your mind to think I'm naturally inclined
Knowing all these songs and have 'em sung by heart
And the plain truth of it all
Is we heed two different calls
A match made in the wrong term drawing straw
And this is where we part

Waltz around these burdens thinking this is all it's ever gonna be
With a strange sense of entitlement by something ominous to me
And they hang on every word, a complacent raconteur
All I can hear is hurt taken too far
I've seen folks in the road before
And I'm not intrigued no more
By memory lane and what it does to the heart
(And they hang on every word, a complacent raconteur)
This is where we part
(All I can hear is her take it too far)
This is where we part
(I've seen folks in the road before and I'm not intrigued no more)
This is where we part
(By memory lane and what it does to the heart)
