"Joshua" Lyrics

Joshua's a Gemini
He broke my heart
Wish I was too preoccupied to fall apart

Certain he was God-sent
The sweetest sentences
Funny how my world could end in silence

Too naïve to believe
His glow was all but fire
Too cold to get close to
So I loved him through the wires
He callased my sweet dreams
And the sleepless nights
That was all until he
Vanished in time

Had to tell my mother when
She found my cold heart
Lying in the trash bin on our yard
All my friends are pessimists
But I find solace
Riding in your front seat 'till morning

It's late night at stoplights
You ask what's in my head
I heard what you told me
But I changed the subject
We drive by my address
Deny the medicine
By the time it's the morning
My mind is quiet

It's late night at stoplights
You ask what's going on
Well I'm tired of lying
And I hum that Bonnie song
We ride on in silence
But I see you're catching on
By the time it's the chorus
You nod and sing along

There's a bitterness and a mellow sting
It was always in vain, yeah, it was always in vain
All the blood that we shed, the psalm that you read
Never mind all of the romanticizing

Joshua's a Gemini
He broke my heart
Wish I was too preoccupied to fall apart
