The chips are down
|
And we are drowning in the flood
|
It's such a cruel mistress
|
A bitter taste tonight
|
Amidst the rising tide of good tries
|
The goodbyes make the ride home
|
On the wrong road
|
Seem Oh so trite
|
|
The seatbelt is keeping me trapped
|
The art form of not holding back
|
|
It's arduous this glamorous life
|
It's arduous don't stop now
|
This is not a cautionary tale
|
The fuse is lit so run for help
|
Thirty minutes will burn faster than incinderary bomb's (Whoa oh oh)
|
In standing here we learn to fall
|
In holding tight we lost it all
|
In thirty minutes we believe
|
We're gonna chase this falling star (Whoa oh oh)
|
Thank you for coming here tonight
|
I see the wonder in your eyes
|
Don't let me steer you wrong
|
I wrote this down to tear you up
|
|
This is our labor, this is our labor of love for you, love for you
|
I'd rather bleed than live to see the day the song died out
|
