Tiny Cracks And Pieces

We were packing up the venue Moving slow steady sure A couple kids were in the hallway Talking to the opener I placed the drums in first I remember every word You said all we know is ending spilling whiskey on your shirt I lit my cigarette sure I quit remember that See the problem with beginnings is they never seem to last do they I'm holding on to what remains Then we drove over and hour Just to save a couple bucks Found a hotel on the highway I checked us in then I stayed up I poured some green room booze and the TV played the news And I guess you got me thinking when you said I had to choose I saw your figure dark saw you pace the parking lot And I wondered who was calling and I wondered where we lost our way I'm holding on to what remains Eventually I came to join you Offered you a paper cup And we listened to the cars pass Said you were through you were giving up You licked your fingertips said you'd remember all of this All the tiny cracks and pieces and how we never made them fit But you still know me well Heaven knows I'll fight like hell And if all I know is crumbling I'll be running up that hill always I'm holding on to what remains I'm holding on to what remains I'm holding on to what remains
