Patterns in Repeat

[00:12.47] That you'd walk into a room and tell me for the millionth time
[00:17.60] The many fine points to tell your story
[00:23.57] Like Calabasas was in bloom
[00:26.08] You know I'm frankly unaware of all the ways in which that is supposed to move me
[00:34.71] You could skip the end, the photograph, the friend
[00:39.28] The long returning trim that you'd foreseen
[00:44.20] Just patterns in repeat like they've always been
[01:04.55] You had your children on the fly
[01:06.94] Another child, another guy, another chance to fall in love again
[01:14.75] I fear they may have paid the price for the freedom of your life
[01:20.18] Though you would say that was a chance to show them
[01:25.47] An open door, a broken bone, a marble floor
[01:34.44] And patterns in repeat
[01:39.58] Forevermore
[01:47.57] Forevermore
[01:54.08] If only I had known you then
[01:56.43] A hanger-on, perhaps a friend
[01:59.24] An ear to bend around which way you saw it playing
[02:04.59] I tell it well, I try to sell them on the fact you were a match
[02:09.76] Ever a scratch away from bursting into flames and
[02:14.43] A light perfume that lingered in the room
[02:20.18] That everlasting tune you had to sing
[02:25.72] A smile or two, a gap between your tooth
[02:31.36] Your dirty underwear, your diamond ring
[02:36.10] Just patterns in repeat
[02:41.97] Like everything
[02:49.94] Like everything
[03:00.57] Like everything
[03:20.66] I want you to know that I gave it up willingly
[03:31.22] Nothing real was lost in the bringing of you to me
[03:42.59] I want you to have a piece of my maternal flame
[03:52.84] Part of me, eternity, intolerance for pain
[04:01.42]
