The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips in slow currents.
And I watch as your face is framed in its slow currents.
Drifting curls, a trailing path.
A long drag becomes a tress of blue and ash.

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn,
Burn as brightly as we can.
And if it's gotta end then let it end in flames.
Let it burn all the way down.

Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
O-o-oh...

The sky glows.
I see it shining when my eyes close.
I hear your warnings but we both know,
I'm gonna look at it again.

Don't wait,
Don't wait,
The road is now,
A sudden sea, and suddenly,
You're deep enough to lay your armor down,
To lay your armor down,
To lay your armor down.

You get one look.

She smiled in a big way;
The way a girl like that smiles,
When the world is hers.
And she held your eyes,
Out in the breezeway, down by the shore,
In the lazy summer.

And she pulled you in.
And she bit your lip.
And she made you hers.
She looked deep into you as you lay together,
Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer.

But you've already lost.
But you've already lost.

We are the only ones,
Who feel it.
Tonight we drink,
Tonight we dance,
We are the last ones,
Who can hear it

We're calling in whispers.
We're tired of waiting.
We'll take what we want,
And leave what we know behind.

We are still dreamers,
In our dead sleep.
Naked and tangled,
Twisted in love

Tonight we are the only ones who feel it,
So let it last all night,

Oh, sweet lungs don't fail me now.
Your burning has turned into fear;
Drills me in my every step.
I'm moving quick, but you're always on my heels.

Just one more breath, I beg you please.
Just one more step, my knees are weak.
My heart is sturdy, but it needs you to survive.
My heart is sturdy, but it needs you.

Breathe, don't you want to breathe?

The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked.
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay,
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released,
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix.

She just might get you lost,
And she just might leave you torn,
But she just might save your soul,

Stand down, son.
Start resting easy.
You've done your service.
I am proud to have you home,
And see you safe.
It's so good.
You look so strong,
In that picture on the mantle,
You sent your mom when you were gone.
But you look scared now;
Hollow-eyed.
When are you coming,
When are you coming,

Back where you belong?
I swear that it's safe here.
There's nothing to fear at all.

Hand out the window,
Floatin on air.
Just a flip of the wrist,
And I am wavin you goodbye.

Drive past the lifeguard stand,
Where I'd sit around waitin' for you to remember.

As I drive...

How the girls can turn to ghosts before your eyes,
And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying.
And how the grace with which she walked into your life,

We watch the season pull up its own stakes,
And catch the last weekend of the last week,
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced.
Another sun soaked season fades away.

You have stolen my heart.
You have stolen my heart.

Invitation only grand farewells.
Crash the best one, of the best ones.
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight.

You have stolen my heart.

The signal is subtle.
We pass just close enough to touch,
No questions, no answers.
We know by now to say enough,
With only simple words;
With only subtle turns.
The things we feel alone for one another.

There is a secret that we keep.
I won't sleep if you won't sleep,
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given.
We are compelled to do what we must do.
