I can see it in the air
Every word was like a smoke from a cigarette
You were blowin' in your hands
The heater broke in the Oldsmobile
And the light in your eyes
Alone on the freeway
I was stranded in the bed
You were listening to The Dark Side of the Moon
I could barely see your eyes
Psilocybin in a hotel room
And the light in your eyes
The waves on the ceiling
I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
I'll be your brightsidе, baby, tonight
Tonight
You were tired of Tacoma
I was tirеd of believing we were right
Losing every other friend
Finding nothing in the afterlife
But the light in your eyes
Alone on a feeling
I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
Tonight
You're stranded on the bridge
You're crying for your kids
I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
Tonight
Tonight
I could see it in the air
Every word was like a smoke from a cigarette
Sun is coming up ahead
Get your crack the windshield shine
And the light in your eyes
Alone on the freeway
I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
Tonight
You're stranded it on the bridge
The cops are closing in
I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
Tonight
Tonight

A.M. RADIO
Standin' on the corner, I could listen to the radio
When the savior sang from the fire escape on the second floor
You were always saying we would make it to the catacombs
In the end, it came when you wrote my name on the bathroom stall
If the photograph doesn't bring you back
If the final chapter isn't ever after
Ooh
I remember wakin' up the neighbor like a stadium
Yeah, you ran upstairs, screamin' no one cared and the band played on
Even in the limo, you were feelin' like an animal
At the traffic light, when you blew your mind on a mobile phone?
Day and night, my love
You said the blood was on my hands
Long, as you run
I couldn't give you up
Forever run
I couldn't give you up
In the minivan, with your headphones in
Did you write your letters to your shitty friends?
And all this time, you said to me
"My love would never die"
Long, as you run
I couldn't give you up
Forever run
I couldn't give you up (and the daylight in my hand)
Long, as you run (and the silence on the street)
I couldn't give you up (and the long light in my hand)
Forever run (and I was incomplete)
I couldn't give you up (and the daylight in my hand)
Long, as you run (and the silence on the street)
I couldn't give you up (and the long light in my hand)
Gone, don't look back (and I was incomplete)
I couldn't give you up
When the savior sang from the fire escape on the second floor
You were always saying we would make it to the catacombs
In the end, it came when you wrote my name on the bathroom stall
If the photograph doesn't bring you back
If the final chapter isn't ever after
Ooh
I remember wakin' up the neighbor like a stadium
Yeah, you ran upstairs, screamin' no one cared and the band played on
Even in the limo, you were feelin' like an animal
At the traffic light, when you blew your mind on a mobile phone?
Day and night, my love
You said the blood was on my hands
Long, as you run
I couldn't give you up
Forever run
I couldn't give you up
In the minivan, with your headphones in
Did you write your letters to your shitty friends?
And all this time, you said to me
"My love would never die"
Long, as you run
I couldn't give you up
Forever run
I couldn't give you up (and the daylight in my hand)
Long, as you run (and the silence on the street)
I couldn't give you up (and the long light in my hand)
Forever run (and I was incomplete)
I couldn't give you up (and the daylight in my hand)
Long, as you run (and the silence on the street)
I couldn't give you up (and the long light in my hand)
Gone, don't look back (and I was incomplete)
I couldn't give you up

WHERE WE ARE
Where we are (where we are)
I don't know where we are (where we are)
But it will be okay
Where we are (where we are)
I don't know where we are (where we are)
But it will be okay
Laying on a table like I wasn't even there
Holding on a steering wheel and coming up for air
What was that?
Driving in the rain, what was that?
Calling out your name
Staring at the ceiling fan, I'm feeling far away
Leaning on the reasons like it wasn't even fair
What was that?
Driving in the rain, what was that?
Calling out your name
Where we are
I don't know where we are, but it will be okay
Where we are
I don't know where we are, but it will be okay
Crashed the car in Arizona on the interstate
People pulling over, crying, thinking we were dead
What was that?
Driving in the rain, what was that?
Calling out your name
I know who you wanted me to be
Always holding up your tragedy
Where we are
I don't know where we are, but it will be okay
Where we are (where we are)
I don't know where we are (where we are)
But it will be okay
Where we are (where we are)
I don't know where we are (where we are)

BIRTHDAY
I didn't know I was the only thing you saw
Your eyes were blue
I don't know why I couldn't love myself
But you needed proof
You and me will always be the ones to hang around
I can see the loneliness you keep out of sight
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear
It's alright, it's alright, and we're carrying on
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday, oh
Every word, every word
And we're singing along
Over and over
I can only scream so loud, but you ignored me
You picked it up, you picked it all apart
And, now, there's nothing for me
We gather 'round
Your house burned down
As you held a garden hose
You and me, will always be the ones to hang around
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear (it's alright)
It's alright, it's okay, and we're carrying on
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday (it's alright))

It's your birthday, dear (it's alright)
It's alright, it's okay, and we're carrying on (it's alright)
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday (it's alright)

BIG SHOT
All the things you said to me
The manifest and destiny
Well, all of this could go away right now
And everyone was in the band
And I was on another planet
And then you, were all alone
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna hold a big gun
You gotta have a quick hand
You wanna be the big shot now
The chosen one your mother loved the most
After all
Early morning, still in bed
You hate yourself for what you said
But you could never admit you were wrong
And every song was out of key
And I was in the in-between
And then you, still all alone
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna place the big bet
You better have a big hand
You wanna be the big shot
You wanna be the only son we love
After all
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna hold a big gun (big gun)
You better have a quick hand (quick hand)
You wanna be the big shot (the big shot)
You wanna be the big man (big man)
You wanna place a big bet (big bet)
You better have a sick hand (sick hand)
You wanna be the big shot now
Big shot now
After all
The manifest and destiny
Well, all of this could go away right now
And everyone was in the band
And I was on another planet
And then you, were all alone
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna hold a big gun
You gotta have a quick hand
You wanna be the big shot now
The chosen one your mother loved the most
After all
Early morning, still in bed
You hate yourself for what you said
But you could never admit you were wrong
And every song was out of key
And I was in the in-between
And then you, still all alone
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna place the big bet

NEVER REALLY MINE
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
Find a love, I was leveled at the sight of you
You were wrong, what I needed was a little clue
All alone in the middle of the night
Give it, give it up just to leave it on the line
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
All alone at the traffic stop light, I
Live at home 'cause I never knew the right time
Everyone's gonna leave it where you left
You're a woman on the run, I'm the silence on the staircase
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, no
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, oh
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, no
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, no
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade, don't you fade
Say it once so the neighbors all can hear you
I'm the one who was never gonna play to lose
All of a sudden you're fallin' out of frame
I was lookin' through the camera, you're lookin' for a way out
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
Were never really mine
You were never really mine
You were never really mine
Find a love, I was leveled at the sight of you
You were wrong, what I needed was a little clue
All alone in the middle of the night
Give it, give it up just to leave it on the line
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
All alone at the traffic stop light, I
Live at home 'cause I never knew the right time
Everyone's gonna leave it where you left
You're a woman on the run, I'm the silence on the staircase
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
Love was not designed for time
You were never really mine
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, no
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, oh
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, no
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away, no
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade away
Hey, don't you fade, don't you fade, don't you fade
Say it once so the neighbors all can hear you
I'm the one who was never gonna play to lose
All of a sudden you're fallin' out of frame

REMINGTON
And the ocean was all in my fingertips
But I held you on my back
And the foam of the sea was an awful white
But beyond it painted black
Waitin' on the sun
I'm waitin' on the sun
I'm waitin' on the sun tonight
I awoke from the sleep of a hundred days
To the fire station bells
And the smell of the smoke brought me back in time
When my father killed the cold
Hey Mr. Remington, promise us everything
Please Mr. Remington, now
Hey Mr. Remington, promise us everything
Please Mr. Remington, now
But I held you on my back
And the foam of the sea was an awful white
But beyond it painted black
Waitin' on the sun
I'm waitin' on the sun
I'm waitin' on the sun tonight
I awoke from the sleep of a hundred days
To the fire station bells
And the smell of the smoke brought me back in time
When my father killed the cold
Hey Mr. Remington, promise us everything
Please Mr. Remington, now
Hey Mr. Remington, promise us everything
Please Mr. Remington, now
