You move to Northern California Into the valley of the moon You think the world is out to get you The thief was singing the raincloud song Keep searching for your El Dorado You’re nothing but a lonesome dove Every minute fears all-nighters When you’re coming back from graying hours You’re hanging on but you can not find the light The day you drank all the desert’s will to fight There’s nothing more and you can’t fake it Make the joke and take it too far You drain your life of love and wonder You chased the duke off with a gun Frog the candle riding white horse Little whiskey punk church goer You want to get rich not get thrown Captain calling Mexico Southeast from the gala flatport Muster protest Fairfield run You’re hanging on but you can not find the light The day you drank all the desert’s will to fight There’s nothing more and you can’t fake it Make the joke and take it too far

Death, did it really happen yet? Did the cricket moment hit? Are we taking pictures of fireworks? Gone from our honeysuckle lives To those old blindfolded eyes Are we done with constructing our lightning bolts? Out of the old ways but we’re walking through the door We’ll keep it together or we’ll fall right on the floor Into the daylight but you like the darkness more We’re not doing great but it’s better than before post chorus Hey, can you squeeze my hand again? Do the San Francisco dance? Can you kiss me again like a shotgun? I know we bandage all our tears In snake venom and beers But it doesn’t mean life is a lost cause Chorus Post chorus x2 We are lost before we’re found Can you hear the awful sound Of the cars passing over the freeway? I'll be here forever and my heart's an open door If you spill into despair, then I'll clean up the floor Into the daylight but you like the darkness more We’re not doing great but it’s better than before

I heard Jack Stoney is dead He fell asleep while he was walking on shattered glass Couldn’t make peace with himself It took a while but it always would bite his ass Cuz he was working on dying With all his nightmares it’s a shock he made twenty-four And if you’re working on dying It’s the quickest way to be reborn but You’re shattered You’re not a diamond you’re a piece of a broken heart You gotta believe The world’s rolled up it’s sleeves And it feels like you’ve broken your knees You’re shattered I heard that Grace bit the dust Sought absolution for a sin they could not forgive They made their bed with the Duke And risked it all to take the over on Adelaide And did you hear about Gregory? He feared the unknown and it cost him his fear of sleep And if you heard about Gregory I know you’d hate to be impressed But you’re shattered You’re not a diamond you’re a piece of a broken heart You gotta believe The world’s rolled up it’s sleeves And it feels like you’ve broken your knees You’re shattered Your 15 minutes were the last in your paper cup Happiness divides Like the light in your eyes I’d be patient if i wasn’t so shy You’re shattered And you can’t even fight it You’ve got nothing to give but a invite to terrorize And you detach your heart, you don’t care anymore You left it all on the vicious floor And you can’t even fight it You take you’re lonely time and you run it all up the wall But it’s not your fault, you know you can’t stop You’re just waiting for the lanturn to drop It’s shattered I heard you’re speakers are blown You took what’s left and you threw the rest in a cage But if the city stays bright and you can put up a fight Then i can take the time to spare you a light But you’re shattered You’re not a diamond you’re a piece of a broken heart You gotta believe The world’s rolled up it’s sleeves And it feels like you’ve broken your knees You’re shattered You take all of your lonely time and you run it all up the wall You’re finding a way It’s all work and no play And you’re turning all your nights into day You’re shattered
