Faltered with my innocence
For every mushroom cloud
Was our world always irrelevant?
In these distances somehow
We seemed to grow up sheltered but
All bombs fall fast and sharp
So why did it have to come to this?
From a lifetime of false starts
A lifetime of false starts
Now I keep counting the reasons
For all connections that I've tossed aside
You know it used to be so easy
But now I can't find one place to hide, one place to hide
Love is a dream that I gave away
Left it with the homeless hearts that pray
For something to exist, now it's trailing on your lips
Everybody knows what I had to do
As the meanings come apart, we can't follow through
I'll be lost in the abyss, for a reason such as this
Some fake designs made intricate
Our fears sunk underneath
Was this world tied up with something else?
All excuses for beliefs
Well I've been counting the reasons
For each connection that I can't deny
You know it used to be so easy
But now I'm looking for a place to hide, a place to hide
Holding onto something that I can't convey
If love is in your heart, you won't fade away
When nothing here exists, you can read it on my lips
Everybody knows what we had to do
As the meanings come apart, I can't follow through
We'll get lost in the abyss, for a moment to resist
When every autumn leaf comes falling down
Listen to the silence, find some solid ground
We'll watch the breaking waves, as the sky goes up in flames
You brought me to the place where I need to be
I had to get myself a little gravity
Now there's nothing left to say, as the seasons slip away
Oh there's nothing left to say, as the seasons slip away
Now there's nothing left to say, where the stronger hearts remain
