Two steps into shore,
Feet to head,
I want more,
I want more.
Close to ground,
Sands of mine,
I could climb
Into your chambers.
Don’t you try,
Even if you speak your mind,
You’ll never change her.
Take my life,
Into sun-kissed skies,
Insidious nature.
Seek the sacred words,
That you said,
Undertow,
In my head.
Close to time,
Waves are high,
Childless man,
You and I.
Just you and I.
Don’t you try,
Even if you speak your mind,
You’ll never change her.
Take my life,
Into sun-kissed skies,
Insidious nature.
Just you and I
Closing in on your chambers
Don’t you try
To give in to your anger
So don’t you try,
Even if you see the light,
You’ll never change her
Chase the light,
Traced inside,
You know the danger.
Just you and I.
Don’t you try,
Even if you speak your mind,
You’ll never change her.
Take my life,
Into sun-kissed skies,
Insidious nature.
Don’t you try,
Even if you speak your mind,
You’ll never change her.
Take my life,
Into sun-kissed skies,
Insidious nature.
Don’t you try,
Even if you speak your mind,
You’ll never change her.
Take my life,
Into sun-kissed skies,
Insidious nature.
Just you and I.

Faded,
Autumn’s hollow light
is wasted
on December eyes.
Once you’ve tasted
the hatred
you’ll wish it was chased with
The vaguest and basest alibis.
Not this time.
Jaded
since you were seventeen
and it comes down
to a choice between:
A new page, or a slow fade,
well you can’t have it both ways,
but don’t say that you didn’t have the time
to decide.
You could have had it all,
You let it go to waste,
You could have had it all,
Ruiner.
Faded,
Autumn’s hollow light
is wasted
on December eyes.
It’s a new page, or a slow fade,
but you can’t have it both ways,
It’s too late for you to decide.
You’re out of time.
You could have had it all,
You let it go to waste,
You could have had it all,
Ruiner.
I used to be like you,
And see the things you’d do,
As the bitterness
Latches onto you.
But now I have a different view,
And I intend to see it through,
It won’t swallow me,
Like it swallowed you.
(You could have had it all,
You could have had it…)
You could have had it all,
You let it go to waste,
You could have had it all,
Ruiner.
So cup your dirty hands,
And try to catch the dust,
You could have had it all,
You could have had it all,
You could have had it all,
Ruiner.

And that’s when it all starts to make sense:
the loneliness and the reasons that you wanted to split;
but for all your clever explanations,
every single word shows through,
every single word shows through.
‘Cause you’re already gone,
your heart has been hung
for what you have done.
I never wanted to you to see,
I never wanted you to see me go.
The motives and the scent of betrayal;
the seeping after thoughts of how your love had felt.
But for all my clever-placed defenses,
every single wound shows through,
every single wound shows through.
‘Cause you’re already gone,
your heart has been hung,
for what you have done.
I never wanted to you to see,
I never wanted you to see me go.
‘Cause you’re already gone,
your heart has been hung,
for what you have done.
I never wanted you to see,
I never wanted you to see me go.
I never wanted you to see me go,
but I could never let you know.

Lover I’ve fallen,
Heels over head.
Scraping for meaning,
All the words we’ve said.
Sounds of summer,
A pale yellow dress,
Sweat on my forehead,
All to try and impress.
Burn out the beat inside my chest,
You gave me the rhythm that is best,
Carve out the ice and melt it through,
You turn my heart cherry blue.
Lover we’re sinking
Over our heads
Circling somewhere,
There you stand, instead.
Pages turning,
A messy love scene,
Scripted and spoken,
All the words so clean.
Burn out the beat inside my chest,
You gave me the rhythm that is best,
Carve out the ice and melt it through,
You turn my heart cherry blue.
Burn out the beat inside my chest,
You gave me the rhythm that is best,
Carve out the ice and melt it through,
You turn my heart cherry blue.
Burn out the beat inside my chest,
You gave me the rhythm that is best,
Carve out the ice and melt it through,
You turn my heart cherry blue.

The wolf is at my side,
Isn’t that what you said to me last night?
Under the covers you told me, right?
You whispered lightly in your sleep in bed at night.
Fight, fight, fight, fight.
Fight, fight, fight.
I thought I could save you.
(What did you do?)
Aren’t your dreams like mine?
(Who’s saving you?)
After the coffee brews,
The trees I’d climb,
(What did they say to you?)
It’s nothing new.
Trace the face of silly suits and signs,
Show me different moods within
what you thought was intolerable.
It’s not my fault the wolf is at your door.
The wolf is at my side,
Isn’t that what you said to me last night?
Under the covers, traced in light.
Intertwined.
Trace the face of silly suits and signs,
Show me different moods within
what you thought was intolerable.
It’s not my fault the wolf is at your door.
It’s not my fault the wolf is at your door,
It’s not my fault the wolf is at your door.
It’s not my fault the wolf is at your door.
Fight, fight, fight, fight,
Fight, fight, fight, fight.

You woke up loud and stormy
And I left my check on the front porch
You left your name in my heart
It cleared the skies of the rain that we used to know.
No love on the western coast,
No faith, no devotion,
No stars in the western sky,
And the days go by in slow motion.
The sun sets, I feel the dark behind me,
It ricochets under my skin,
You left your name in my heart
It cleared the skies of the rain that we used to know.
No love on the western coast,
No faith, no devotion,
No stars in the western sky,
And the days go by in slow motion.
In the western sky…
In the western sky…
No love on the western coast,
No faith, no devotion,
No stars in the western sky,
And the days go by in slow motion.
No love on the western coast,
No faith, no devotion,
No stars in the western sky,
And the days go by in slow motion.
In the western sky…
In the western sky…

You wanted to feel it,
But you couldn’t see it.
You tried to believe it
true.
You wanted to taste it,
but the moment was wasted.
Fractured and fated,
Doomed.
Every promise broken
Will come back to you in time.
It all feels the same when
you’re day-drunk and faded.
You’ll learn how to fake it,
soon.
You wonder where days went,
As your shoes meet the pavement,
And the options you’re faced with,
Loom.
Every promise broken
Will come back to you in time.
Every morning finds you,
Seeking some way to feel alive.
You’re out of time.
You’re out of time.
You’re out of time.
You’re out of time.

Summer nights
feel like they could last forever
when you're young;
honestly, you just don't know better 'til
late one night,
It don't matter the time or the place;
you just close your eyes
and swear to god you can still see her face.
Years go by and you still feel bitter,
you'd give anything to just forget her,
'cause everything hurts and it don't get better
when you're just sixteen.
In the parking lot and your hands started shakin'
Everyone around could tell you were fakin'
'cause who the hell cares if her heart was breakin'?
She was just sixteen.
Summer love,
to most kids it don't mean a thing
but when she's near,
the mountains part and the angels sing.
You said "Baby, I've got a fever
and I'm burnin' up, burnin' up inside for you,
now make me a believer,
and tell me you can feel it too".
Years go by and you still feel bitter,
you'd give anything to just forget her,
'cause everything hurts and it don't get better
when you're just sixteen.
In the parking lot and your hands started shakin'
Everyone around could tell you were fakin'
'cause who the hell cares if her heart was breakin'?
She was just sixteen.
And you don't care how,
but somehow you've gotta leave this town,
'cause it's too late now,
you're in over your head and you're starting to drown,
and nobody knows
the right way to shake these teenage blues
but that's how it goes
when you're a hard luck kid you got somethin' to prove.
Years go by and you still feel bitter,
you'd give anything to just forget her,
'cause everything hurts and it don't get better
when you're just sixteen.

When you're a hard luck kid you got somethin' to prove.

The fullest sun can’t seem to shake it,
these dancing lights around your head.
Here you are stuck needing to fake it
but your howling luck would have you dead.
You’ve wasted years in spaces so cold
for second place will never do.
Trying to push through painted windows,
your dimming light will still shine through.
Why so serious
No moon near us
Lost and mysterious
My dogstar
In seasons soon take time to wander
And never bite the hand that feeds
Your constellation causes wonder
And yet you’re always ill at ease
Why so serious
No moon near us
Lost and mysterious
My dogstar
Why so serious
No moon near us
Lost and mysterious
My dogstar
Why so serious
(my dogstar)
No moon near us
(my dogstar)
Lost and mysterious
(my dogstar)
My dogstar.

Hearts race faster still,
You told me don't look back,
I never will.
'cause I know we can't ever
change their minds, so why bother?
They don't matter.
Just run, run, faster now,
we've got the whole damn town tryna chase us out.
And I know we've got money saved so sugar c'mon,
let's leave town tonight.
Forget if weather's right,
Burns just as bright as inside,
But the leaves are just as broken,
Like the skin our pain was holding.
Leave it all behind,
Eating at our skin, we begin.
Fast, the chase, you told me now,
Unbelievable streets if we can make it out,
And you know we've got nothing to say love,
the sky is on fire;
it doesn't matter.
Just run, run, faster now,
we've got the whole damn town tryna chase us out.
And I know we've got money saved so sugar c'mon,
let's leave town tonight.
Forget if weather's right,
Burns just as bright as inside,
But the leaves are just as broken,
Like the skin our pain was holding.
Leave it all behind,
Eating at our skin...
Hearts race faster still,
You told me don't look back,
I never will.
'cause I know we can't ever
change their minds, so why bother?
They don't matter.
Just run, run, faster now,
we've got the whole damn town tryna chase us out.
And I know we've got money saved so sugar c'mon,
let's leave town tonight.
Forget if weather's right,
Burns just as bright as inside,
But the leaves are just as broken,
Like the skin our pain was holding.
Build a house with the wheels,
Feed the dogs, farm the fields,
With the camera fortified,
It's gaining appetite.
Turn the car, let it peel,
Like the skin, you left it open,
But our leave are just as broken,
Throw away the hearts we've stolen.
Leave it all behind,
Eating at our skin, we begin.

Feeling,
Not for the first time,
Background of old lies,
You get what you give.
Your eyes,
It’s only the first time,
It trickles down my eyes,
A gift for the kid inside.
So rough,
Just calm down and open up,
Blackboard with dusty words,
Can you hear the sounds that we heard?
Vintage dancing ‘round fireflies,
The sparkles make me realize,
Always your hand in mine.
Do you think that I could be swayed?
Will you stay?
I’ve been waiting all night.
’Til the moment passes, the lights all fade,
Will you stay?
I’ve been waiting all night.
Feeling,
Not for the first time,
So turn your face to the sky,
It’s here that we live.
Follow the footsteps in snowy ground,
Confusing and never found,
The kids that we left outside.
This night might be forevermore,
Your yellow boots on my floor,
In cold-covered skin.
Vintage dancing ‘round fireflies,
The sparkles make me realize,
Always your hand in mine.
Do you think that I could be swayed?
Will you stay?
I’ve been waiting all night.
’Til the moment passes, the lights all fade,
Will you stay?
I’ve been waiting all night.
Feeling not for the first time
Background of old lies
You get what you give.
Feeling, not for the first time,
So turn your face to the skies,
It’s here that we live.
Follow the footsteps in snowy ground,
Confusing and never find,
The kids that we left outside.
Your eyes, it’s only the first time,
It trickles down my eyes,
A gift for the kid inside.
Do you think that I could be swayed?
Will you stay?
I’ve been waiting all night.
’Til the moment passes, the lights all fade,
Will you stay?
I’ve been waiting all night.
Do you think that I could be swayed?
Will you stay?
I’ve been waiting all night.
’Til the moment passes, the lights all fade,
Will you stay?
I’ve been waiting all night.
