Eyes are tired
Can't see what the future holds
Cut the wire
& pray that you don't explode
The music was so loud
I couldn't even speak
A teardrop lines your cheek
How do you face it
Where does it go
Just want to make it
Just want to know
Found in time
A lonely man with chronic gloom
Leave him behind
Some people only want to share their doom
The city shined so bright
I couldn't even see
A teardrop lines your cheek
How do you face it
Where does it go
Just want to make it
Just want to know
Too many nights beside myself
Tried too hard to quiet it
A song between the silences
How do you face it
Where does it go
Just want to make it
Just want to know

Let this one thing last
Before it begins
Future circles Past
Never here again
Hope shimmers like waves
Are you heaven sent
I lie wide awake
Beside you in bed
Is it real
Am I alive
Every shadow disappears in the light
Truth revealed
It never lies
Every shadow disappears in the light
Providence arrives
Or is it just chance
Live another life
Stranger at the dance
Hope's the dirt in snow
Left after the sun
Love's a crystal glow
You're the only one
Are you here
Am I alive
Every shadow disappears in the light
So beautiful
Don't let it die
Every shadow disappears in the light
Is it real
Am I alive
Every shadow disappears in the light
Truth revealed
It never lies
Every shadow disappears in the light
Are you here
Am I alive
Every shadow disappears in the light
So beautiful
Don't let it die
Every shadow disappears in the light

Share a story that shows your age
Used to throw ourselves around the house show stage
You headlined, we weren't even on the bill
I knew your guitar player Paul but now he's Phil
All your friends were there
The music it was louder than the air
I swear
We talked a little bit about our bands
We weren't close but talked of future plans
The English System played "One Seventeen"
You yelled into my ear "this speaks to me"
A melody comes flooding back to me
Sometimes our hearts can live beyond their beat
Beyond their history
Hoodie wearing kids spilled in the street
I heard one of them hum "I Know You'll Find Out That I'm A Geek"
With a lowercase g
If the end is closer than we think
Make a song that everyone can sing
If the end is closer than we think
Sing a song that everyone can sing
If the end is closer than we think
Give a song that everyone can sing
If the end is closer than we think
Live a song that everyone can sing
That everyone can sing

Put your new dress on
& we'll go out
Night so long
Makes the moonlight proud
Yellow lights burn through the clouds
We hold our breath
Pushing through the crowd
Things go up & things go down
All there is
Is here & now
The smile hope wears
Hangs like a shroud
It bares its fangs
Eats your heart out
In the dark
When you're in my arms
I want all to stay
As it is right now
Things go up & things go down
All there is
Is here & now
I want all to stay
As it is right now
All to stay as it is right now
