lyrics
LYRICS
so we both danced with the devil, but you went home and changed the world.
i slowly left your atmosphere, and drove the dark away…
i'm just passing through here like a choir of fallen angels, outlaws on the run, standing on the edge, waiting for someone to say:
it's the end of the summer, it won't wait for me. it's the end of the summer, we'll get over it.
if you try to close your eyes and picture us in other lives, then, baby, we'd cross over.
we crashed right through the air, you mumbled something with a smile…
like autumn leaves, i fell back down or prayed for intermission.
somewhere there's an open door, a window staring at the street like sinister reminders to "please enjoy my stay".
i'm just passing through here like a choir of fallen angels, outlaws on the run, standing on the edge, tryin’ not to think about the end of the summer. it won't wait for me. it's the end of the summer, we'll get over it.
if you try to close your eyes and picture us in other lives, then, baby, we'd cross over.
i was thinking about driving my car off the cumberland bridge… getting back to basics, or maybe start a little hobby.
i know, baby, that some of these things get so hard to forgive just take a breath, and when you wake up…
i may never wake up ‘cause who am i without you? i am just a lyric in a song. i am just a photo in a phone. i am just a house without a home.
no, i may never wake up.
all of my ghosts… they started out living.
a prayer on a page for a moment forgiven.
the fear and the rage: the cards you were given
i may never wake up
