lyrics

Wake up alone and the streets are empty,
Racing through the city, 42nd and Broadway.
Breathe out in relief, it's all only a dream.

Young enough to believe we can live forever,
Relishing the sweet, and ignoring the bitter.
Tell me, "What is happiness to you?"

Awake until morning, delaying the pleasure,
Sharing old nicknames, and caricatures.
I barely know you, but I know that you saved me

I came back to life under Monet-like skies,
Felt the same buzz as our first sunrise.
"Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around."

Everything is sculpted by iconography,
It all feels familiar like an album or a movie.
We spend our whole lives pursuing our dreams,
But never think to go to sleep.

When I walked out that door, my past had followed me.
"Four times really means something," I acted carelessly.
I said that I loved her, I would have said anything,
But the car kept gaining speed.

Woke up hungover, never saw you again
Unable to cope, I signed my name to a contract.
One last wave goodbye, I won't remember this.

Three days in late December, I'm told I was missed.
Amidst my oldest friends, you somehow knew me best.
One night, true love was within grasp and I'll never forget.

...consequences

Even in my dreams, I know I am about to wake up.
I turned what I love into what I'm most afraid of.
Now will you look at us, I'm frozen and you're dust.
I'm sorry I shattered what had only begun.
I lost you the moment I sat in the passenger side.
I hope I find you again in another life.
