lyrics

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
