You always thought it was blood,
And that just goes to prove you're not the same girl at the same bar,
ordering the same drink at closing time
I'm hopeless evidence against you
I'll present them to each and every
That would be impossible to do
But from wide open faces,
I turn out just to be wise
Now's where to practice being kind
I bump into them every place I go to
But do you think that plagiarizing and
abbreviating wisdom is what
Dying teeth, if you flash your new smile
Trying to conceal, but knowing all while that
more than just your picture's on file
There are no small places, just small miles
And if the word of wisdom you failed to catch,
You think you're ageless and timeless,
but the truth is that even your beauty will fade
Because you've done so well,
taught yourself to be so reckless, foolish, that's just what
But the wildest faces turn
And it's a me that just pulls at the gear
And every memory of beauty
Battles each yardstick of time
And every single baby minute of
Brings you closer to the back of the line
But there are no small faces,
And every moment of life you waste be
comes somebody else's time
And the wide open spaces you thought were yours,
And the love that held us together,
we lost somewhere along the climb
