i know the sun’s too much for my protection i feel you there in the sand, we are impressions i tell you secrets, i might wash away arms open, your lonely rented room, unspoken the moment that i knew you x 4 we’re chasing moments ‘till there is no light out we’ve gone from the smokestacks back to our hideout we need each other, we were locked away i kiss you, our skin confirms the need to continue the moment that i knew you x 4 the dawn will come but in your arms i will stay we’ve begun we’ve begun the moment that i knew you x 4

(tell me we’ll be erased tell me when you’ll be satisfied you can’t just walk away) i wear it like an emblem nostalgia in the A.M. we’re buried in the playlists i only have my hoarding heart to blame a sea of broken pieces i dive before it deepens i’m drowning in the weekend i never thought i’d wash this year away i don’t want to feel my heart sink i’m bailing but the walls keep leaking tell it to the sleepless evenings we can’t go back, we’re falling i don’t want to build a time machine i just want to fill this void i feel deep into the night, i’m begging we can’t go back, we’re fading put up another barricade we can’t keep out yesterday when my resolve has weakened i just can’t form the words that i should say all the broken pieces they’re looking like my demons and sounding like your reasons they’re hiding where the photos fade away i don’t want to feel my heart sink i’m bailing but the walls keep leaking tell it to the sleepless evenings we can’t go back, we’re falling i don’t want to build a time machine i just want to fill this void i feel deep into the night, i’m begging we can’t go back, we’re fading (tell me we’ll be erased tell me when you’ll be satisfied you can’t just walk away) i don’t want to feel my heart sink i’m bailing but the walls keep leaking tell it to the sleepless evenings we can’t go back, we’re falling i don’t want to build a time machine i just want to fill this void i feel deep into the night, i’m begging we can’t go back, we’re fading

worn recliner could be finer ever the fighter it’s rarely cold like the man it holds like the man it holds the years are settling smell of metal years have settled summers mellow children grown with sons of their own with sons of their own the years are settling keep remembering keep remembering midnight sun yard overrun the generations the old man smiles but the boy’s eyes are wild the boy’s eyes are wild the years are settling keep remembering keep remembering

(we’ll find it now, my love here in the short forever we’re alright now, the last call we’ll make it home together) the last warm plate in sight a fairfax shrine we fell through time the deep end of the night the swimmers out a sundry crowd you were nonchalant the loveliest around diner shangri-la we sat for hours and hours moments never aging out maybe we will find our right now, my love (here in the short forever) maybe we’re alright now we’re out beyond the last call (we’ll make it home together) we walk out mystified the headlight strobe our coupled form illuminates the signs we gravitate our hunger waits for the wherewithal you’re right where i belong past your camouflage we stood there overwrought where we parked an afterthought maybe we will find our right now, my love (here in the short forever) maybe we’re alright now we’re out beyond the last call (we’ll make it home together) right now, right now, my love right now, right now, my love maybe we will find our right now, my love (here in the short forever) maybe we’re alright now we’re out beyond the last call the last call, the last call right now, right now, my love right now, right now, my love
