Walking through the crowd, the village is aglow. Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats. Everybody here wanted something more, searching for a sound we hadn't heard before
There was nothing left to do when the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room
'Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
Remember when we couldn't take the heat? I walked out, I said I'm setting you free but the monsters turned out to be just trees. When the sun came up, you were looking at me
Something happens when everybody finds out, see the vultures circling, dark clouds. Love's a fragile little flame, it could burn out
Midnight, you come and pick me up no headlights. Long drive could end in burning flames or paradise
You always knew how to push my buttons, you gave me everything and nothing. This mad, mad love makes you come running, to stand back where you were, I wish you would
Clear blue water, high tide came and brought you in. Skies grew darker, currents swept you out again. In slient screams, in wildest dreams I never dreamed of this...
The rest of the world was black and white but we were in screaming color
And his voice is a familiar sound... nothing lasts forever, but this is getting good now
People like you always want back the love they pushed aside, but people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye
You see me in hindsight, tangled up with you all night, burning it down. Some day when you leave me, I bet these memories follow you around
So I punched a hole in the roof, let the flood carry away all my pictures of you. The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing...
Tossing, turning, struggled through the night with someone new. Lantern burning, flickered in my mind, only you
It's 2am in my room, headlights the pass the window pane, I think of you. We're a crooked love in a straight line down, makes you wanna run and hide then it makes you turn right back around
Your kiss, my cheak. I watched you leave. Your smile, my ghost, I fell to my knees; when you're young you just run but you come back to what you need
People like you always want back the love they gave away, and people like me wanna believe you when you say you've changed . The more I think about it now, the less I know; all I know is that you drove us off the road
Lights flash and we'll run for the fences. Let them say what they want, we can't hear it. Loose lips sink ships all the damn time, not this time...
He said let's get out of this town, drive out of the city away from the crowd. I thought, Heaven can't help me now, nothing lasts forever but this is gonna take me down
Looking at it now, last December; we were built to fall apart, then fall back together
They got the cages, they got the boxes. They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run
10 months sober, I must admit just bcause you're clean don't mean you don't miss it. 10 months older, I won't give in. Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it
So it goes, he can't keep his wild eyes on the road. Takes me home, lights are off he's taking off his coat
The drought was the very worst when the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
Screaming, crying, perfect storms. I can make all the tables turn. Rose garden filled with throns, keep you second guessing like, who is she? I get drunk on jealousy
Rain came pouring down, when I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe... and by morning, gone was any trace of you; I think I am finally clean
Only the sognwriter of our generation
and I could go on and on, on and on...
