The Finish Line

from Pieces by Peca

/

lyrics

She took off screaming
There was no going back
That same day she had smoked an entire pack
She found no joy
She had a feeling that the rain would come
But it never did
and the overcoat felt long
Her heart was soaked
And as she stepped into the airport lounge
A song played backwards
and a scary sound
Kept lurking on
But we always made it to the finish line
We always made it to the finish line
Except one time
Yes, we always made it to the finish line
We always made it to the finish line
Except that time

Explosions in the ceiling (Explosions)
As all her days were leaving (Implosions)
How could this happen one more time?
Despite all planned precaution (Resentment)
Nothing could help the motion (Disturbing)
The guilt of an unspoken crime

And now she’s
looking through her purse
A missing thought dissolves
And now she’s
looking through her purse
A missing thought dissolves
Not to return
Not to return

How stupid can this be
Some old receipt got stuck beneath
the papers that the
lawyer brought at home
(Not to return)
How stupid this might look
Well, people look like animals
sometimes
As they’re preying through their love
They’re preying through their love
Not worthy of
All the attention they might get
The ego trips
They love so much
(She’s moving on
Not to return)
And one more thing
she could’ve said
Right then and there to mark the end
With punchline strength

The irony
The irony
The irony
The irony

We always made it to the finish line
We made it to the finish line
We made it to the finish line
We made it to the finish line
We made it to the finish line
To the finish line we made it
To the finish line we made it

To the finish line we made it
To the finish line we made it
We always made it
We always made it
We always made it
We always made it
We always made it
We always made it
We always made it
We always made it
We always made it
We always made it
We always made it
We always made it
We always
