This where I kiss goodbye to your western peaks,   leave you to hold each other in the smoke in the dark   Convincing yourself that you know what you mean    Platitudes that mean nothing to me      And this is where I peak   Watching you play and replay your favourite cards    You've been convincing yourself that you like what you see   for so long now its too pretty to leave      The tape is finished, so cut up the tape   The tape is finished, so cut up the tape   I lose myself every time I say it   It was tenuous anyway   It was a step removed,   and the boundaries moved      This is where I kiss a cool hello to home   Take a risk and decline to go   Convincing myself I could never be wrong   Platitude that I've been swallowing whole      This is where I kiss you a cool hello from home   Take another risk and decide to go   Take you back and leave you alone      The tape is finished, so cut up the tape    The tape is finished, so cut up the tape    I lose myself everytime I say it    It was tenuous anyway,    It was a step removed,    and the boundaries moved
