I can feel the delicate balance shifting The bra** pan scales are starting to quiver And every single letter that we stitched into our skin Has faded now like your memory And I swore on the greatest city skylines That we'd make it through the year if it k**ed us The lights above the corner cascading down your face They would carry us halfway across the world And I promised her I could love her again Like at 17, lying on my bedroom floor Dropping darts through foreign maps in magazines And how many times did we cut ourselves wide open? Within the walls, inside the house with the lights out
And said we already felt the zephyrs And I swore on the greatest city skylines That we'd make it through the year if it k**ed us The lights above the corner were heavier than all the concrete Crashing down, down, down And we tried reviving something that we lost somewhere out there Cause we were so tall; we were more than this and we'd never be torn down And we tried reminding ourselves that the distance was just time and direction But your head started turning, and I could tell that there was someone on your mind
