Text: Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová. Trying To Pull Myself Away.

Breaking up in the station, a final train

I don't even know if I'll ever see you again

Is it a choice that we even have?



Bang bang down on the piano 'til I smash the keys

Living alone with the melodies

Everything's gone and I don't know where



And the rule of thumb don't apply anymore

'Cause the house is burning



Trying to pull myself away

I'm caught in a pattern and I can't escape

Trying to pull myself away



Lately when I get lost there's this thing I know

Even the dogs have somewhere to go

Everything comes if you just let it be



Work, work, brighten the corners that will never see

Untangle the thoughts that you know what they mean

I hope that the answer doesn't come too late



And the rule of thumb don't apply on me

'Cause the tables are turning



Trying to pull myself away

I'm caught in a pattern and I can't escape

Trying to pull myself away

I'm caught in a pattern and I can't escape

Can't escape



Trying to pull myself away (everything's gone)

Trying to pull myself away (everything's gone)
