(Verse)
Swayin' lights on a hillside, almost forgot my name
Carside houses in the desert tide, they all look the same
And for a fleeting moment, there was terror in your eyes
A haunting revelation or a clever disguise
(Chorus)
Just give me that ellipsis
There was never any harm from a couple of dots
The time forgot, to fill up the empty pages
(Verse)
We built a fire in the kitty-litter mill, the old brick barely took the heat
Took a lot just to get our fill, pile of hot coals on cold concrete
At a glance I noticed, there were tears in your eyes
A total realization, we'd have to say goodbye
(Chorus)
Just give me that ellipsis
There was never any harm from a couple of dots
The time forgot, to fill up the empty pages
Please grant me that illusion
Of a different time, where the stories there, written with care
And nothing ever changes
(Verse)
Could you really see yourself completely fadin' away
Or was it more like the reflection in a window pane?
Not quite so vivid, a couple shadows overlapped
And everything behind you, looks pale and trapped
(Bridge)
I've been lookin' ‘round the streets tonight
With a melody so poor
And a collection of some words that rhyme
Help the drama to unfold
(Chorus)
Just give me that ellipsis
There was never any harm from a couple of dots
The time forgot, to fill up the empty pages
Please grant me that illusion
Of a different time, where the stories there, written with care
And nothing ever changes
Just give me that ellipsis
There was never any harm from a couple of dots
The time forgot, to fill up the empty pages
Please grant me that illusion
Of a different time, where the stories there, written with care
And nothing ever changes
