Broken Places - Lyrics by Roches, The


Lyrics

Did you know me
Long ago
Were we close
Before the sorrow
If you thought of leaving any traces
I'll be sifting through the broken places

Did i know you
Once upon a time
You dreamed of me
And now i'm
Searching for myself in strangers' faces
Stumbling onto further broken places

She turns purple
Am i blue
Can't she fathom
What i do
Trying to get in her better graces
Touching her in all the broken places

I get crazy
Not sure why
Solace beckons
Until i
Go tearing off again on wild chases
Crashing into same old broken places

I am young so
Who's to say
But for now i
Have no way
Of knowing how much healing time erases
Certain of these secret broken places

Can't there be a
Little breather?
Our love is a
Real seether
To sore hearts we plead our hapless cases
Rendezvousing at the broken places

I love you for
All of this
Struggling towards
Happiness
When the chips are down we play our aces
Hiding them in our broken places
