Sōmaphore - Deperegrinated Lyrics

Let me see the look on your face
When you see that I have come back
You thought that I turned back
On a life that I used to love
You feared that I'd find a hook and line
Get drawn in and become obsessed with
A desire to reinvent the wheel

With your brand name Band Aid surface cures
But you inspired me more than that
I know to make men better
You have to start with yourself
So now I have returned
To a place that I remember
To a life I couldn't ask for

And I want your reaction
To be something I can picture
In my mind when I reflect back
On the fondest memories of my life
And I hope you don't crack a smile
When I'm expecting you to cry
And I hope you laugh out loud
When I tell you that I tried
A hundred times to say I love you
When it meant that I could have you
And I regret every word I left unsaid

As for the words that got out
I'm sorry that they had to be
So clumsy and naïve
The effect they had was what I was afraid of

But if I can take them back
And you can take me as I am
I'll touch your hands and hold you
Here in silence 'til the dust and wind
Turns us both into sand
