These nights are getting longer by the day
|
every hour that we waste is an eternity alone
|
hold fast, we're inviting our collapse
|
and our house of cards can't stand up on it's own
|
why must we burn our hands a thousand times
|
before we ever learn
|
that there are reasons we react
|
pulling strings that hold the stars up
|
coaxing down the angels from on high
|
coaxing down but not quite automatic
|
just keep driving, just keep driving
|
never think to fall asleep
|
I wouldn't think the night would leave you wanting
|
and when we make it home
|
fragile thoughts won't be alone
|
don't just wave goodbye as you go
|
I can't feel at all
|
I can't hear you whisper
|
I've never seen such indecision
|
here we go to lock ourselves away
|
this frustration's got us hanging but our fingernails
|
gravity is taking over
|
you be sane and I'll be sober
|
our prize won't be better in the end
|
it's another season passed
|
and we won't get the chance again
|
why must we burn our hands a thousand times
|
before we ever learn
|
that there are reason we react
|
pulling strings that hold the stars up
|
coaxing down the angels from on high
|
coaxing down but not quite automatic
|
I can't feel at all
|
I can't hear you whisper
|
I've never seen such indecision
|
here we go to lock ourselves away
|
don't brace for rain
|
it's not too late, but that's not what they'll tell me
|
don't race for pain
|
don't leave well enough alone
|
or make the same mistakes
|
we promised ourselves we'd know much better
|
I can't feel at all
|
I can't hear you whisper
|
I've never seen such indecision
|
here we go to lock ourselves away
|
