Elephants Lyrics

The elephants left
Through a hole in the wall
And it can't be right to pretend
That it all didn't happen
'Cause it did
She turned away and nobody spoke
Of the china and windows
The elephants broke
Just silence, and that's it

And it seems that we both forgot
We try to be something we are not
But tonight we were shown the truth
'Cause that's what elephants do
Oh, we're so mistaken
We cover the mess with small talk
And we can't even see
It's our own heart that is breaking
Breaking the rules

The elephants will come back
And they sure don't like to be ignored
Like they have been before
Like a bunch of fools

And it seems that we both forgot
We try to be something we are not
But if we can't live with the truth
The elephants cannot live too
And elephants die alone
So let us start to remember
All the things that we want to do
We should just skip the food over candlelight
I know I want to crush all the tables with you
I want to dance just like elephants do
I want to wreck everything
That I once held for a place that is home
Now I know that it's you that is home
