This is where we stand.
back to back, hand in hand.
Don’t breathe a word, I want to remember it just like
This.

So this is the part in the storyboard that we realize
there’s a world outside the walls we’ve built,
a world that’s starved and dying to get in.
Time’s not letting us off easy,
There’s no where left to hide.

The two of us don’t even come close,
but you promised you’d put up a fight.

Sometimes I wish that the world was flat,
so we can make our great escape.
Fingers crossed diving off the edge
Never looking back.

You don’t always get what you blew out the candles for.

Stay with me as the blinding light on the coast pulls underwater,
and keep dancing along where the ocean meets our feet.
We’ll take only these clueless feelings,
and leave only washed away footprints.

All the world is a stage, so we’ll put on a show,
and be the liars they know we are.
I’ll laugh and you’ll wave,
I’ll head east and you won’t follow.

The next morning we’ll pretend that it meant nothing at all.
