The fluorescence in the hall reminded us of new dawn
When it woke us just as easy as an early dream
And the shadows on the wall looked like two holy idols
Looked a little bit devine and a lot like you and me
And our lives together
When we would spend Sunday nights to infinity
Making life of cheap retreats with each one better than the others
Hand drums and keys in the afternoons we learned
Easy songs for lazy lovers
And we strung lights that ran along the fence
When we thought that we could spend eternal summers in the backyard
We strung lights to illuminate the space between us
Keep us out of the dark
If you need to confide
I can be easy to find
Have you felt like this before?
Got a feeling in your bones a restless nerve you can't abandon
We'll outgrow predictions if you stay with me
As my doe-eyed companion
This young we can't see what we'll become
Hold my fingers like a gun and shoot the lights out over our heads
And hide the things that we're trying not to see
What we haven't figured out yet
With naive melody lamps that decorate the bedroom
We stripped all of the linens tracing a loose thread
If you love me till I'm dead I'll haunt the bedroom with you
Make ourselves out to be ghosts with sheets around our heads
And our tired hands worn as every day demands
We demolish what we have and create the whole world over
Because it's the only way we can be sure
That we're never getting older
And we strung lights that ran along the fence
When we thought that we could spend eternal summers in the backyard
We strung lights to illuminate the space between us
And keep us out of the dark
If you need to confide
I can be easy to find
Have you felt like this before
Got a feeling in your bones a restless nerve you can't abandon
We'll outgrow predictions if you stay with me
As my doe-eyed companion
This young we can't see what we'll become
Hold my fingers like a gun and shoot the lights out over our heads
And hide the things that we're trying not to see
What we haven't figured out yet
