We found out the hard way Perfection never lasts The universe don't want things to be so good We braided ropes together And tied 'em round our necks And every mile takes away each breath I walk back through this hallway With you still in my mind With every step I feel farther from home Bodies flood this city So someone tell me why This is the first time I've ever felt so alone And I remember last fall When we looked up at the shooting stars on the porch 'Til it was too cold to stay outside Now the seasons never change And the night just ain't the same since the lights of the city Drown out the sky
And why Oh why Isn't it easier at all After each time we say goodbye If I could wake up in the morning light And you were my first sight I'd be alright We found out the hard way Love won't go through a screen A machine doesn't speak the language of a touch Now saltwater tears the makeup From underneath your eyes And scars both of our cheeks as it dries And you told me yesterday You wanted us to run away and I don't know now If it was a joke or not But as the threads we intertwined Fray and fall apart with time I'd like to think it's more than just A pa**ing thought Chorus x4
