Could have been a night like any other
One of us has to drive, one of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's going to get harder still before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what wants to break

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

Before this world starts up again
It's me and night
We wait for the sun
The kids and drunks head back inside

Well there's lots of smart ideas
In books I never read
When the girls come talk to me
I wish to hell I had

Get up, Get up
Turn my ignition
Get up, Get up
Fire up the system
I'll play my little part in something big

I'll accept with poise with grace

When I know I'm all alone
I say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I carry you

Does it feel good like the memory
When you try some history
It's a dream to come around
The rule doesn't bend,
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again

It's easy feeling righteous when removed
All you'll get is what you wanna hear
It hurts because it should

I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor,
I'm only here in body visiting.
Yellow faces in the distance screams,
"The beauty is in what isn't said,"
I'm rising to my feet,

Because tonight, the world turned in me.
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe.
Oh, babe, I know, it's a life and somewhere for us to find,
Tonight, chase this light with me.

My just so, my last call,

You close your eyes and kiss your hand, then you blow it
But it isn't meant for me and I notice
If the choice was ours alone
Then why'd we both choose letting go
Does it end like this

Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just a number always counting down to a new start
If you always knew the truth
Then the world would spin around you
Are you dizzy yet

I came up like everyone they taught us all the same
I said what they told me to say and then from that, they grade
Give up repeating the facts fact can be arranged
Here I am I'll take my chance now, play the record straight
Give it up
Give it up
Talking points from talking heads with automated smiles...
"There's no higher ground to stand than bottom of the pile"

There's a chance, one of us will give in soon
I could ask, but what's an answer gonna prove?
I try to get mad, but the fever drops
My heart can't break 'cause the beating stops
Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me.

Wanna laugh, take a look around the room
It's a dance, tired steps in brand new shoes
I can only take a guess what the morning brings
If it feels too good, then it probably is

This is where our diligence has lead
The waves roll in to claim our patient steps
Can we become more than just ourselves?
And leave the sand our want, our will, our doubt

It's firefight, and I, I won't run
There's spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive

This is now the moment after next

Let the water come
She's the only one I love
Let the fat man drop
She's the sweetest honey pot

Will they see the sky again?
Who will sing their blues for them?

Let the factories rust
She's the only thing I trust
Let the virus spread
She's the silk lining in my bed

Will they breath our air again?
Who will sing they're blues for them?

When you're feeling moved

On, it's on.
I declare my room a scene
Gone, then gone
It's too much that they say you need
It's not perfection, yeah
How boring if it is
Nothing new for me

Light on up
With everybody watching you
Lights go down
Everything is yours to lose
First dancer takes the floor
Laugh what you can't ignore
Whatcha gonna do

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation

I have a ringing in my head and no one to help me answer it
Even with you close enough to kiss
Every minute is arranged
Every moment lasts a day
Thinking 'bout it can't help me let go
I know

Talk
Talk ain't lot but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes and all the pretty things
Say whatever you want 'cause I can laugh it off
(Ha ha)
