When the sun goes down
and it's night time
I wanna hop in a cab
ride it all the way to the other side
See all the music I like
she was there first
and all of the other boys
had her first as well
Chorus:
She likes the Clash & the Fray
sitting on the floor of her room
The record's wearing out
Turn it up
This girl's the one & only
This girl's gonna stay the same
I really should've known better
only the boyfriends change
She wants the boxset
& I'm just the EP
Nowadays this girl goes to a church
with a guy much better than me
She loves Jesus & 'One Way'
& she's getting all emotional
Feeling sorry for her sins
Ain't it great some dude came down?
You shiver when my fingers run
across your skin
You wanna wither
Take me in your lungs
Baby you suck me in
& you will miss this
even though this is the first
Chorus:
You passed away
hours into days
Just a little patience
before our fingers lock again
You should've spent every moment of
the past with me
You keep thinking
I know you got heart
but baby just leave it be
Don't go looking for me
You know this is how it ends
You passed away
Wake up
How can I not bring her home?
She was so tired
We are black & white noir
A lot on her mind, paranoia
She's full of bad vibes
Spilt the paint again
My sleeves soaked in red
I tried to make her stay
but her mind was already made
Chorus:
Take your time
Take it all away (I know a better way)
I really was the open book
now I sit in an empty space
You walk away from the fire unscathed
Are you finally distracted?
Have you gotten away?
As you look out the window of that plane
His hand finds yours
& I imagine you'd rather be nowhere else
She's off to Disneyland,
never gonna see her again
She knows where I'll be
but I don't even know her name
I tried to help her switch off but it only made things worse
Beep Ba Boop Beep Ba Boop
You fell into the river
& wished to drown in the sea
You looked up to the mountains
for a chance to believe
You jumped into the fire,
washing away the pain
& let the wind guide you
far away from this place
Chorus:
Just bury me
The river engulfed you
as water filled your lungs
The heights, they blind you
& through the valleys you were found
The flame danced to the beat
& wrapped itself around you
You were lonely,
you were looking for a friend to end this nightmare
The wind swept you off your feet
Far away from this place
