lyrics
It's when you are falling asleep I'm gathering up steam
You're so cautious but seamless as carefree as I'll never be
Went to bed last night convinced this was surely the end
Woke up in a cold sweat at least we can breathe again
Cause we're the same as we were before
But all the rest keeps falling apart
I'm just glad we made it
As far as I can see it's breaking at the bend
Could be hard pressed but locked and contested to the bitter end
We put those lightning bugs in a bottle and played in the sand
Fun was seeped in the water and coming through our glands
It's the same as it was before
But everything keeps falling apart
You shut your eyes and try to ignore
What a superficial strange time we are living in silence while cities are burning their ashes are falling like leaves from a tree is this the way it is or is this only a dream? I think it is.
It's when you are falling asleep I'm gathering up steam
Went to bed last night convinced this was surely a dream
But I'm just glad we made it this far
You're so cautious but seamless as carefree as I'll never be
Went to bed last night convinced this was surely the end
Woke up in a cold sweat at least we can breathe again
Cause we're the same as we were before
But all the rest keeps falling apart
I'm just glad we made it
As far as I can see it's breaking at the bend
Could be hard pressed but locked and contested to the bitter end
We put those lightning bugs in a bottle and played in the sand
Fun was seeped in the water and coming through our glands
It's the same as it was before
But everything keeps falling apart
You shut your eyes and try to ignore
What a superficial strange time we are living in silence while cities are burning their ashes are falling like leaves from a tree is this the way it is or is this only a dream? I think it is.
It's when you are falling asleep I'm gathering up steam
Went to bed last night convinced this was surely a dream
But I'm just glad we made it this far
