[00:01.69]Your grand dad left home for the circus
[00:07.30]He was young just like me
[00:11.05]With hope to explore
[00:14.23]He married a girl in Virgina
[00:19.91]She could sing the trapeze
[00:24.77]They could sleep on the floor
[00:34.09]Your mother was born in December
[00:37.21]On the one sunny day that winter gave up
[00:48.38]She had warm summer eyes
[00:50.37]That flickered like fireflies
[00:53.00]When she stared at the world
[01:00.23]So why do you leave these stories unfinished?
[01:05.79]My Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in her eyes
[01:14.02]Why do you look when you've already found it?
[01:20.01]What did you find that could leave you walking by?
[01:31.04]She was raised in a New England village
[01:36.85]Than she moved to LA with her firefly stare
[01:44.09]You love sunset when it sparkled
[01:49.86]You grew up and you sparkled but why don't you care?
[01:57.16]So why do you leave these stories unfinished?
[02:03.77]my Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in your eyes
[02:10.59]And why do you look when you've already found me?
[02:16.95]What did you find that could leave you walking by?
[02:25.80]
[02:37.66]These nights I get high just from breathing
[02:48.02]When I lie here with you I'm sure that I'm real
[02:52.14]Like that firework over the freeway
[02:57.81]
[02:59.07]I could stay here all day but that's not how you feel
[03:06.29]So why do you leave all these questions unanswered?
[03:10.96]The circus awaits and you're already gone
[03:17.21]My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in her smile
[03:23.81]What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
[03:30.74]And what did I do that you can't seem to want me?
[03:37.23]Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?
[03:43.66]Where can I go that your pictures won't haunt me?
[03:50.21]What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
