lyrics

We were standing behind unlocked doors
Never knew what the handle was for
You called out to me, in muffled voice
And I nearly forgot my name

I'll admit that it's different now
Getting out left one of us unscathed
Looking back I should have let it burn
For the sake of time

So don't let it out
Just let it shine
Maybe some day they will
Speak about it
They'll ask
And say, "Wow I don't know
How you do it, baby,
Do it, baby"
And you,
You'll laugh it off
With dirty knees
And maintained company
Their attempts to be genuine
Are transparent smoke
That you couldn't smell since

New youth, screaming from the rooftop

You made plans to disappear
Now understand your purpose here
Maybe now I see why I grip tight
To those who mean the most

Long roads will be ahead
Let's ease your weary head
You made plans to disappear
Now understand your purpose here
