And don't get yourself confused,
you just weren't meant to fly.
You better get a hold of your dreams
or you'll chase them your whole life.
At least that's what they tell me,
but i doubt i'll ever find enough stars
to fill these vacant skies.
I wish the world was flat like the old days.
Then I could travel just by folding a map.
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways.
There'd be no distance that could hold us back.
It's nights like this I feel alive.
When every sentence we make is a promise.
Holding our arms up to the sky,
like every breath we're taking is perfect.
All I'd ever wanted was to forget.
But even when I thought I had, pieces kept emerging,
like bits of wood floating up to the surface that
only hint at the shipwreck below.
Ineloquence and anger are all we have.
As far as im concerned,
youre just another picture to burn.
She's vulnerable.
For the same reason,
she is strong.
Soon enough you'll hear the black top calling for you
after that there is not much else you can do
I am a pirate, you are a princess
we could sail the seven seas
bring back some presents
for all the people
We have a good thing
she is a bad thing
why would she want to break us
who would want to break us
she'll destroy us all before she's through
and find a way to blame somebody else
Who would have thought that it just begun
Ready to sacrifice your lungs
When your stress is the first thing on your list
And looking cool comes
There now with all you have
You really should do more than just complain
Just complain
You seemed to have something to say
I leaned in close so i could hear
a roll of duct tape in your hand
"We have a show next saturday"
You hung a flyer on the wall
"Will you come and see us play?"
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens,
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins. |
