No Return Lyrics - Beatific Visions - Brakes

I was searching through the record section 

Of a shop in Birmingham 

Trying to forget the news 

But you know how things sometimes are 

The fates conspire to 

Remind you 

'No Return' was its title 

'No Return' like I'd said 

'No Return', those searing words 

Burning in my head 

I'd come across a compilation 

Called 'Blues in a Minor Chord' 

As though you were there behind me 

I'd turned it over to read the sleeve notes, 

Credits in a daze 

And a chill came up my spine 

'No Return' was its title 

'No Return' like you'd said 

'No Return', those piercing words 

Tattered in my head 

And I'd said, 

"The pain of being together 

Is more than being apart" 

I thought of you all December long 

And now it's a New Year's start 

"The loneliness of walking by your side 

Is more than walking alone" 

It's why I'm leaving 

I let out a hollow howling 

Falling terribly 

Like wind escaping from a tube 

I think they call it coincidence 

Or something like deja vu 

You never believe it 'til it happens to you 

'No Return' was its title 

'No Return' like we'd said 

'No Return', like icicles 

Falling through our heads 

And I'd said, 

"The pain of being together 

Is more than being apart" 

I thought of you all December long 

And now it's a New Year's start 

"The loneliness of walking by your side 

Is more than walking alone" 

It's why I'm leaving 

It's why I'm leaving 

It's why I'm leaving 

It's why I'm leaving...
