Song Lyrics

Where were we?
We were barely visible
Like headlights through the snow
You can't tell one from two, don't you know?

A world apart
Our hands divide the space
Not sure where to rest our eyes
While the years are passin' by

It's easy to spot the Northern Star
Much harder to know just where you are

These things will deceive you
Leave you dumbfounded and spinning
Leave you reeling and grinning like a fool
But we're not the ones who follow the footprints in the snow
Without knowing where they go
Where were we?

Closin' in
Clouds are boiling overhead
We saw this thing comin'
But we looked away instead

You can change the paint
Move the tables and the chairs
It's not how to fix what's broken
Not getting us anywhere

It's easy to find the Northern Star
Much harder to know just where you are

These things will deceive you
Leave you dumbfounded and spinning
Leave you reeling and grinning like a fool
But we're not the ones who follow the footprints in the snow
Without knowing where they go

Your heart won't mislead you
Or lead you astray
Please leave the light on
So I can find my way

These things will deceive you
Leave you dumbfounded and spinning
Leave you reeling and grinning like a fool
But we're not the ones who follow the footprints in the snow
Without knowing where they go

Where were we?
Where were we?
