Reunion
Papermaps Lyrics

I promised you a keepsake.
I told you I would give you something to remember me by.

You should have called my number.
You should have tried to reach out to me.

Wake me out of this slumber, ‘cause I've lost my crown these days.
I am feeling lost and powerless, and I need someone to wake me up and help me regain my strength.

And why should I care anyway?
I am questioning why I should bother caring about someone who doesn't seem to care about me.

Even monuments crumble.
Even things that are seemingly permanent can eventually be destroyed or fall apart.

It's so hard to be humble.
It is difficult to stay humble and grounded when faced with success or praise.

Just when I think it's over you start talking backwards.
Just when I believe that the situation has resolved itself, you start saying things that confuse and contradict me.

I don't even need to hear the words.
I can sense that something is wrong even without hearing you say it explicitly.

With your pieces captured you lie and wait in the corner.
You are feeling broken and vulnerable, and hiding away from the world.

If I staged a reunion, would you come out anyway?
I am wondering if you would be willing to reconnect and mend our relationship, even though we have been distant for a long time.

I'm going to watch you fumble, watch you bend over backwards.
I am going to observe you struggle and try to appease me, even though it may not be possible.

You're going to want to eat his words.
You will eventually regret what you have said or done and wish you could take it back.

With your tenement on fire, you're going to wait for a liar.
Even though your life may be in chaos, you are still willing to trust someone who has betrayed you in the past.

If I staged a reunion, would you come out anyway?
I am reiterating my question about whether you would be willing to reconcile and come back into my life, despite our past issues.
