"Carpathia" lyrics

I'm gonna leave the same way I came
Up from the ashes then out from the ashes
If a house had stood here on this worn foundation, then you
You could've fooled me. I admit I was a fool for your southern days
One hundred and fifty degrees in the shade
It wasn't an option to go back to my place
No, I was put in my place

And yeah, we live in separate houses
We have for all our lives
It would've been nice to say
It would've been nice to say
Sure would've been nice to say I knew you

When, oh, when will this sinking feeling
Feel like, "Man, that was ages ago"? Ha

I don't worry half as much as I did
When I was an experiment, your resident tourniquet
Lax now about your neck, waiting, just waiting, see
I am the mantle. You, dear, are a painting
Come rest your frame on me
Come rest your frame on me
I was a tower, and you were an airplane
We happened before we knew what was happening

We lived in separate houses
We have for all our lives
It would've been nice to say
It would've been nice to say
Sure would've been nice to say

When, oh, when will this sinking feeling
Feel like, "Man, that was ages ago"?, Ha
When, oh, when will this sinking feeling
Feel like, "Man, that was ages ago"?

Man, that was ages ago
Man, that was ages ago
Man, that was ages ago
We lived inside each other
Such careless lazy lovers
Man, that was ages ago
Would've been nice to say
Sure would've been nice to say

When, oh, when will this sinking feeling
Feel like, "Man, that was ages ago"? Ha
When, oh, when will this sinking feeling
Feel like, "Man, that was ages ago"?

Man, that was ages ago
Man, that was ages ago
Man, that was ages ago
Man, that was ages ago
Man, that was ages ago
Man, that was ages ago
Man, that was ages ago
Oh, man, that was ages ago
