Here's to a truth we knew Non-verbal No writ no script just light like a whip struck on soul leather It was a feeling That I shared with you It could only be hinted at with metaphor Crudely drawn clichéd form But I knew what I knew You could hear it in her voice She was over the moon You could see it when he moved And danced to the tune of love so true Now it's over and you're cold Your story's stale from being told Know the tale skip to the end Maybe you're achin' but try it again Then it goes A million miles an hour Think you'll let it take you home Freeze your golden hour When you let love break your heart It pulls [you back] to pieces As you're weeping through the miracle After all that we've been through Thought I heard them say "I can't believe it isn't gold" It isn't gold From the bottom bottoms up Sip from soiled lovers' cup And we'll time the shine that climbs We'll fall in line in this humble parade [Leaving lights on] turn them off
We can play the parts of the ones we lost We'll be wed in warm sweet hell And we'll lie as we lay You can see it on her face That the song's out of tune You can read it in his gait As he walked away Now it's over and we're cold No more story left to unfold We read the end again and again It always goes that way Then it goes A million miles an hour Don't you let love break your heart Givin' all your power To a flame that falls apart Freeze your golden hour Don't you even let it start Don't let it start Don't let it start No no Can't be told A million miles an hour Don't you let love break your heart Givin' all your power To the flame that falls apart After 'bout an hour Then you think can't get higher 'til All at once you find yourself A million miles from home and all alone A million miles from home and all alone A million miles from home and all alone A million miles from home and all alone
