Broken Places - The Roches

Did you know me

Long ago

Were we close

Before the sorrow

If you thought of leaving any traces

I’ll be sifting through the broken places

Did I know you

Once upon a time

You dreamed of me

And now I’m

Searching for myself in strangers' faces

Stumbling onto further broken places

She turns purple

Am I blue

Can’t she fathom

What I do

Trying to get in her better graces

Touching her in all the broken places

I get crazy

Not sure why

Solace beckons

Until I

Go tearing off again on wild chases

Crashing into same old broken places

I am young so

Who’s to say

But for now I

Have no way

Of knowing how much healing time erases

Certain of these secret broken places

Can’t there be a

Little breather?

Our love is a

Real seether

To sore hearts we plead our hapless cases

Rendezvousing at the broken places

I love you for

All of this

Struggling towards

Happiness

When the chips are down we play our aces

Hiding them in our broken places
