"Semantics" lyrics

"Semantics"

I gave my all for what I thought I wanted
When all that wanting wants is what you think you want but never really got
You told me I could stay until the morning
But would I give my heart back on the way to tend the flowers that You bought
I don't believe I understand the question
Could you paraphrase and understate and throw away until it's what I thought

No one can know
No one will ever know
We ran in circles till we cried and burned our bridges side by side so Many times, four years, two I's
Your body wears a winter coat with pride to keep your head afloat
We're buried with our words now
In the snow, in the snow

Time holds all of our smallest memories hostage
We were witness to events that don't make sense without the Context of this show
These words can never represent my feelings
They're just particles of participles parted by the
Syntax of the snow

No one can know
No one will ever know
We ran in circles till we cried and burned our bridges side by side so Many times, four years, two I's
Your body wears a winter coat with pride to keep your head afloat
We're buried with our words now
In the snow, in the snow
