We spoke of leaving
We spoke believing
Everything would change
We crossed the ocean
Stirred with commotion
The seas did rise
To drown our disguise
----
We drove for hours
I bought you flowers
In a crack pipe vase
We flew up higher 'til the
The culprit and the liar
Give their lives to me
We drowned out at sea
----
But though we still shiver in the sun
And even though we are outrun
Together we are still alive
And that's the truce we ought to chase
Before we lose all of our grace
Collecting dust specks off the floor
But still you scream that you have always wanted more
Yet still you scream until your throat and lungs get sore
"Said dirty liar
With your dreams and desires
And the laws you break
There's no question
We're doomed by your suggestion now
Come make it up to me"
But though we still shiver in the sun
And even though we are outrun
Together we are still alive
And that's the truce we ought to chase
Before we lose all of our grace
Collecting dust specks off the floor
