Hey
I’m feeling kinda seasick
It’s been a couple years since last time we were eye to eye
I know that time takes hold and the tide won’t wait for one soul
And it’s easy to ignore the damage when the waters high
I’ve been living in the lonely hour and I need something new
Say
That it’s a matter of perspective
Drifting in and out of phase is all we’re doomed to do
In a world of turning cycles screaming sirens
If you keep your eyes wide open
Life finds you
I’ve been living in the lonely hour and I want something new
When the world is on the run
And the words have found the page
When all the nights are gone
Will nothing be the same
And I’m swimming through these bed sheets cross the ocean where we came
For all the nights to come
can we hold on to our name
I’ve been living in the lonely hour and I need something new
I’ve been breathing in the midnights fumes now give me something true
I’ve been living in the lonely hour now give me something
I’ve been living in the lonely hour please give me something
Hey
I’m feeling kinda homesick
It’s been a little while since I was knocking at your door
I’ve been going through the motions that we’ve all been spun before
I can’t hold on to the time we lived before
I’ve been living in the lonely hour and I need something more
When the world is on the run
And the words have found the page
When all the nights are gone
Will nothing be the same
And we’re swimming through these bed sheets cross the ocean where we came
For all the nights to come
can we hold on to our name
If we swam into the moon
Would we drown before the sun
But if we held on for the morning
Would we even care what we were swimming from
(but) we know this wont be forever just for a time
Until we fall into the epilogue
And set the book aside
And we’re swimming through these bed sheets cross the ocean where we came
For all the nights to come
can we hold on to our name
I said can you forgive me
Before I speak my mind
These unspoken nightmares we share
they burn me alive
All your broken trances
Where do they unwind
You said we’re too weird to live too rare to die
I said Ain’t that right
And I said
I don’t want to be your darling
I just want to be your friend
I don’t want to be your pet your plaything
or your last cigarette
And I swear I heard the sound
Of hell as it froze over
With the violence the laughter the question the answer
Of words that I try not to forget
You know if I could
Take it all aboard
And sail to the seventh sea
And throw that shit overboard
With the blame I keep
If I could offer it all to the seventh sea
I couldn’t face myself
Could never just erase myself
All my days and nights I’ve tried
You said can you forgive me
The hours getting late
You know we’ve fought so many times so many ways
In this state
I’m no bright eyed romantic
But do you believe in fate
And I said yes
And you said oh
I had you down
for that Anyway
And I said
I don’t want to be your darling
I just want to be your boy
I wont lie and cheat and fight to be heard above the deafening noise
And I swear we heard the sound
Of the waves as they crashed over
With the violence the laughter the question the answer
Of years I’m trying not to regret
You know if I could
Take it all aboard
And sail to the seventh sea
And throw that shit overboard
With the blame I keep
If I could offer it all to the seventh sea
I couldn’t face myself
Could never just erase myself
All my days and nights I’ve tried
All my days and nights I’ve lied
