1095 Days Songtext
von Protagonist

One thousand ninety-five days
I′ve walked such a bittersweet road
One thousand ninety-five days
So until I see you again
I've got fifteen hundred miles
Of rain and sun blocked across my face
Not even fifteen hundred miles
Of stitches can sew me together again

I know how these things play out
And I know how these things always end
Maybe this was just a phase
Maybe I was just a phase


I′d play this game of chess
And I'd set myself on fire for you
These Jesus bags, they don't change here
They never have, they never will
I′ve got fifteen hundred miles
Of phone-cord wrapped around my throat
One thousand golden daggers
Are stabbing me in my soul

On the receiving end of private phone calls
I didn′t know what to say or do
Your words might as well be drenched in blood
You leave yourself open, you just get torn apart
I've got fifteen hundred miles
Of writing these words just for you
Not even fifteen hundred miles
Of phone cord can get me through to you

I know how these things play out
And I know how these things always end
Your words might as well be drenched in blood
You leave yourself open, you just get torn apart

I′d play this game of chess
And I'd make every move for you
I′d play this game of chess
But tonight, tonight I'm stabbing all the queens


All those nights in Boca Gardens
Oh, man, I know one commonwealth avenue
If I could let those nights take me away
And believe me, if we were in the golden age
You′d be my Katharine Hepburn
I'd be your Spencer Tracy
Katharine Hepburn
I'd ever see both of you
We′re just ghosts of broken wings
Oh, and dearly, wish I was not here

One thousand ninety-five days
We′ve walked such a bittersweet road
One thousand ninety-five days
So until I see you again

I'd play this game of chess
And I′d set myself on fire for you
I'd play this game of chess
But tonight, tonight I′m stabbing all the queens
