In the doorway soaking wet

It's raining cats and dogs

There's nothing for us to repair

The fire needs more logs

You managed to crack a smile

The sky is big and open

You stay for just a little a while

The vows have all been broken



[Chorus]

Circles and x's by your name

Day after day a blank change

Some things stay the same

Circles and x's by your name



Nothing left to be sorry for

I still stand aside

I see you off across the floor

With your hand around the doorknob



Your head down the drunken part

The chevy decides too stall

Unmistake the inner rope

That's struck in, in my heart

You turn around to wave goodbye

You look at me and linger

Morning hears a sigh

The sunlight reflects off the silver of your finger



[Chorus x2]

Some things stay the same

Circles and x's by your name
