same song different guitar (slightly different lyrics)

lyrics:

We were lying by the highway
Staring bleakly at the stars
You swore you heard the ocean
In the passing of the cars

There was nothing I could say
To make us more that what we seem
As I looked at you beside me
You were caught up in your dream

And you said to me, it all seems normal now
Said we'd get away from this somehow
I never would have guessed how far we'd fall
And with nothing left to lose, we lost it all

There a kettle in the corner
Full of water turned to rust
Your silver spoon is polished
While the guitar gathers dust

There's a fracture in the window 
That we covered up in tape
On the first night that we slept here
We were dreaming of escape

We had parties in the living room
Ran barefoot down the hall
And the night you said you loved me
Left a wine stain on the wall

We used to dream of better days when we were living them
I used to wonder, if I'd stay but now I know
You're out of lies, and I am tired of forgiving them

There is no second act that could redeem this show
There is no second act that could redeem this show
There is no second act that could redeem this show

You were gathering your breath
But there was nothing left to say
And you turned to me a moment
It was then I turned away

You say I never knew you
That I chose to let you go
I could wonder what's become of you
But I don't need to know

Now it's colder on this highway than before
In the echo of an ocean with no shore
Till I find myself forgetting you somehow
But I guess these days it all seems normal now

NOTE: I was at a gas station and some weird stuff happened but the clerk said "it all seems normal now." It inspired me. Also, I used to sit on a hillside by a highway and it really did sound like the ocean (if you haven't seen the ocean recently and are starting to forget).

track art/photos are all pictures that I took myself unless otherwise noted. Weird little clay sculptures in the pictures were also probably made by me.
