The Imperial Sound - Tracing the Lines Lyrics

Once when you were young
The summer bit and stung
The sun got stuck it never ends
Save up every scar
Inside a broken jar
To buy a future you pretend
Time is on our side
We've got it roped and tied
We've got it eating from our hand
It's not the old ways
It's not the end of days
That keeps us up all night

Tracing the lines down your face
Tracing the lines running down your face
Tracing the lines I can't erase, oh no
But I can try

Now I'm mesmerized
Sunshine in my eyes
Moving out of time
Moonlight by the line

Now you close your eyes
What do you see inside
Is it the darkness or the day?
When you turn to me
What do you think you'll see
Is it the boy you sent away?
The light goes, the wind blows
Oh but heaven knows
We are the one who will decide
It's not the fear of death
Or being out of breath
That keeps us up all night
