Minotaur

I saw you With your ball of yarn Looking for the exit No story left except to leave The slow burn to the winding down An offer in a new town And all that's keeping you is me And you came by to get your clothes And I gave you a speech in my notes A list of reasons why you shouldn't go Give things that finale vibe But you never were a fan of my shows And as you left you said You can't spend your life Lurking through the maze You hate me if I go But if I don't nothing'll change I'll call up your friends They can tell me when you're better We can't be minotaurs in shopping malls forever You saw me with the DVD All the extras and behind the scenes I'll try out every melody Find the one you like so you won't leave All the paintings in labyrinth That we made when we were bored All our scripts and grand adventures We wrote lying on the floor I've got half a dozen pitches Storylines that mean you stay But no matter what, you're leaving anyway Saying you can't spend your life Lurking through the maze You hate me if I go, but if I don't nothing'll change I'll call up your friends They can tell me when you're better We can't be minotaurs in shopping malls forever Put the stereo down Stay where you are Don't make a speech or chase the car Don't ask what now, you already know There's no metaphor You've got to let this go If you ever mean to leave Could you help me with this scene Party where we met No regrets like in the dream I'll call up our friends We can wrestle with the end, together And let this minotaur be myth and nothing more Myth and nothing more
