"The Details" lyrics

A storm come on in the rosy dawn
I was sitting on the front porch watching
A pale rain, the wind got blades
My mind went a lot of ways
Forget-me-nots, Niagara Falls
Never have my ringer on
Even if you called, how am I to respond?
Been avoiding it so long

You erase the details
And I'm history
No matter how clear I keep the memories
You rewrite them
So you can sleep

Electric Sky, I almost died
At least a couple dozen times
Under the knife in your eyes
Years of my life
Holding your hand, touring vans
All I got is a wedding band
In a dresser drawer. What was it all for?
Putting your dreams over mine

And you erase the details
And I'm history
No matter how clear I keep the memories
You rewrite them
So you can sleep

I got him help, and then he bailed
What were all those promises for?
Cover me up, nothing's ever enough
Gonna have to put the house up for sale
He scared me then, he still scares me now
Never will hear me out
The thing is he justifies it, using me
And cashing in on our marriage

He erases the details
And I'm history
No matter how clear I keep the memories
He rewrites them
So he can sleep

He erases the details
And I'm history
No matter how clear I keep the memories
He rewrites them
So he can sleep

So he can sleep
So he can sleep
I'm history
