the engine's off
the buzzing lights intensify the silence
no one can hear us now
we are nowhere, we are nothing
this is it
this is the end
take my hand
we'll go out together
close your eyes
we'll take the first step at the same time
into that dark unknown
beyond these bulbs
if we ever emerge again
think of what we'll tell them
when we were nowhere, we were nothing

Baby Won't You
04:34
|
|||
|
i was walking minding my own business
listening to my headphones
and feeling alright
the sun was shining
and i was daydreaming
about the rest of my afternoon when i heard you say
baby won’t you smile for me
the arrogance of thinking that i’m just out here for you
that i got dressed for you
went to the store for you
so you’d have something to look at
so you’d have someone to smile at you
so i could validate your existence at the expense of my own
so don’t try to tell me your gun isn’t fucking loaded ‘cause you still brought it out to scare me
and i don’t need your comments or your so called compliments so please won’t you fucking spare me
when you and your friends scream at me from your open car window
when i’m just trying to ride my bike
it’s not alright
i was walking
the sun was shining
and i turn the volume up but i still hear you say
baby won’t you smile for me
i just want a good night, can i get a good night
i just want a good night, why won’t you say good night
can i ride with you, you wanna ride with me

Afternoon
03:57
|
|||
|
i rode all afternoon
through the mist to be with you
and i never stopped to think what i would find
in the corner of your room
the most tell-tale sign
that though i was always yours you weren’t always mine
you looked into my eyes
and you didn’t tell me lies
it was the one thing i could never fault you on
so i got back on my bike
and went back the way i came
and even then i knew i’d still be back again

I Don't Mind
03:56
|
|||
|
it's understood
we are not good
i don't mind
and if i could
you know i would
i don't mind
i'm trying to figure how
we got so lost now
i don't mind
the rain's coming down
if we both drown
i won't mind
he holds out his arms
no cause for alarm
i don't mind
it could be so warm
protected from the storm
i don't mind
we'll walk away
there's nothing left to say
out of time
i don't mind

First Sight
03:11
|
|||
|
do you remember when we had our first fight
we got so mad but then we turned out the light
and in the darkness it was just us again
and none of the ugly words that tried to tear us from friends
do you believe in love at first sight
and do you ever wish we could forget that first night
you made me believe in love at first sight
and how love at first sight well it isn't always right
if i could do it all again i'd wanna do everything different
but i don't think that we could have done anything different
from now on i'm gonna shut my eyes tight

Sunrise

do you wanna watch the sunrise with me
let's go out and see what we can see
we can go out and get lost in this city
and try to find our way home
do you wanna watch the sunrise together
we don't have to wait for warmer weather
we can feel like we'll live forever
and never worry about home
tell me what you're thinking about
let me in let me take you out
we'll never know unless we try
could be your girl and you be my guy
so do you wanna watch the sunrise with me
let's go out and see what we can see
we can go out and get lost in this city
try to find our way home
do you wanna watch the sunrise together
we don't have to wait for warmer weather
we can feel like we'll live forever
and never worry about home

Fall Back Down
05:14
|

if we fall back down
how far down will we go
will we catch ourselves on a ledge
will we try to climb back up
will we ever get our footing
will we have to start from the beginning
i won't let you leave me down here alone where there'll be no escape
if you try to climb back out i'll drag you back by your ankles
cavernous echoes and long unending passages
we have to start from the beginning
so if i fall all the way back down i'm taking you with me
if we have to be underground then i don't wanna do it alone
everything coming down around us crumbling at the slightest touch
take my hand, we'll go out together
