lyrics

Your treaty didn’t convince me,
So I chased a fast train
To the all-night picture house I know

Smiled like Houdini
But then without thinking
I traced your name on the window

My breath held so long in the air
I could’ve penned a novel there
As I thought of all the reasons I had for
Turning my back on you

Turning my back
Turning my back on you

I canonized convincing parallels
Our love was like a carousel
Up and down and going nowhere

But halfway through Eternal Sunshine
I was wishing that I could rewind
I missed the point, I know

So I told myself the reasons I had for
Turning my back on you

Turning my back
Turning my back on you

You’re such a stubborn secret
You’ve got Victorian vaults
Where you hide your defects
Like it’s a sin to have faults

But if you can’t live with yourself
Then you can’t love someone else

And it drove me back to the reasons I had for
Turning my back on you

Turning my back
Turning my back on you

And by the end of my picture show
The sun was smiling on infant snow
In the quiet I let you go
