We hear the city sleeping
We are only silhouettes
We make our way into the night
I'm a wreck, you had me beaten
Armed only with your summer dress
You dry your eyes and lead me down
To see the rise and fall of every man
Only somebody like you could ever understand
It will build us up and tear us down
I need somebody like you to guide me to the ground
We had our golden moments
We held our roses to a sky
That bathed the streets in silver light
We'll wear our scars, we'll tell their stories
I will be your alibi
And though we'll try, we can't deny
The rise and fall of every man
Only somebody like you could ever understand
It will build us up and tear us down
I need somebody like you to guide me to the ground
