[00:10.436] All the lines of the cars at the college at night
[00:13.698] All the pillows and blankets, their posters and lights
[00:17.319] All their hopelessly young faces
[00:19.576] Tight with the solace of years
[00:24.924] And you look at me blankly, did I miss something?
[00:28.542] All these kids seem to be less like ghosts on the ring
[00:31.933] Of the graveyard we built from the sting
[00:35.063] Of these horrible fears
[00:40.216] And I try not to laugh as it brings you to tears
[00:47.238] But I won’t tell your secret, if you won’t tell mine
[00:50.939] I’ll just speak quietly, use a well-rehearsed line
[00:54.522] My, my how time makes one long for such ignorant peers
[01:02.086] And you grab hold of my hand as I whisper in your ear
[01:09.728] On the day that you die, please remember these words
[01:13.372] You were the luckiest gift that I’ll never deserve
[01:17.221] I can feel you and me like my heartbeat
[01:20.549] And bloodstream in turns
[01:24.903] And it’s desperate, I know, but please don’t let go
[01:28.460] I can’t begin to repay all these debts that I owe
[01:31.893] I’m just a sketch of a man, I’ll let you know
[01:35.142] When I sharpen the blur
[02:09.347] I’ve hurt you, deserted you, left you alone
[02:13.066] With your loneliness to wear like a crown on a throne
[02:16.622] I’m as selfish and trite as anything God’s ever known
[02:24.358] Oh but don’t be afraid ’cause I’m going down too
[02:28.027] When I finally fade, I’ll be fading with you
[02:31.610] I’ll just hold onto your hand, God I wish there was more I could do
[02:39.734] These kids have no clue, it’s all happening too
[02:43.072] Let’s not tell them, let’s pretend it’s just me and you
[02:46.734] We’ll find out soon enough, but by then we’ll be dust on their shoes
[03:02.005] And these kids have no clue, it’s just me and you
[03:05.498] Let’s not tell them, let’s pretend it’s happening too
[03:09.425] We’ll find out soon enough, but by then we’ll have nothing to lose
[03:16.906] I’ll just hold onto your hand
[03:18.903] God, I wish there was more I could do
[03:24.246]
[00:10.436] All the lines of the cars at the college at night
