lyrics

With all the things we see
There is some similarity
But yet within this sameness
There is so much distance

Walking through the door
Not the same as I was before
Walking through the door
Clinging to a broken metaphor

With all the time we've spent
What has it all meant?
A picture in a locket
A hole in my pants pocket

Walking through the door
Not the same as I was before
Walking through the door
Clinging to a broken metaphor

Things come back to being just the same
Trying to make a difference
Playing this old game
Things go back the way they were before
We used to be so close and now we talk in semaphore

Walking through the door
Not the same as I was before
Walking through the door
Clinging to a broken metaphor
