- We'd run right through those nights
- I'll never find my way back to you
- inside this labyrinth of lights
- There was madness in the meaning
- Never laughless, we were screaming
- at the top of our lungs to the numbness
- This city never died
- I'll fly, no proof
- Those heights,
- I'll never find another chance to say
- "Hey, thanks for saving my life"
- I was hopeless, it was stinging
- Running roadless, we were singing
- at the top of our lungs to the numbness
- This city never died
- What was the root of it all?
- I couldn't say
- Used to jump and then fall
- Rugged and clichéd
- Would shrug it off
- without complaint, not a sound
- No use in trying to find friends,
- 'cause in the end nobody sticks around
- It's when you shoved yourself
- into a crowded place that you turned around
- and found yourself in love in outer space
- Cue the reckless nights, no strings,
- laughing at our own dreams
- Huh uh
- Just what the hell was so funny?
- Bark up the wrong tree,
- stumble, used to falling great heights
- Amidst a concrete jungle,
- singing 'cause it felt right
- We mixed the ennui and troubles,
- rhyming our discontent
- And though it's history,
- I can't forget the time that we spent
- Convinced that this could mean another end
- Exists between real and pretend
- A twisted alter-fiction
- where I missed my chance,
- did not ascend, and
- Disappearing into the mist
- of "never happened"
- is the me that I can never befriend
- I let it go
- Fade in, fade out
- This crazy dream
- Without a direction, floating aimlessly
- There's nothing left
- Back there for me
- Breathe in, but it won't stop
- the rain from pouring
- We'd run right through those nights
- I'll never find my way back to you
- inside this labyrinth of lights
- There was madness in the meaning
- Never laughless, we were screaming
- at the top of our lungs to the numbness
- This city never died
- But was there ever a soul inside?
- Chasing fireflies
- between the soaring high-rises
- Left a trail behind,
- defined it "wasted time of our lives"
- Silent singer, overworked and underpaid
- Thinks an office is a coffin
- until off is where you're laid
- Yet a thought persists,
- an optimist who ought to be afraid
- Saw the "nothing wrong" in writing songs
- behind the lonely shade
- Is the world a sadder place
- without the words that you conveyed?
- When the ladder fell and shattered
- every bar that we had played?
- Does it matter in the end
- the sound diminished and decayed
- And your friends grew tired of fantasy;
- you're wishing they had stayed?
- You don't get to say "I miss you,"
- you watched your heroes fade
- Into the rear-view mirror
- of the villain you portrayed
- Stop the pity party, listen
- You don't get to be dismayed
- You don't get to be emotional,
- feel blessed you got it made
- These the best of years of life
- because you chose to make a trade
- Recollect the days you hoped
- and you prayed for this
- What is there to miss?
- Fade in, fade out
- This hazy dream
- Without a direction, roaming aimlessly
- There's nothing left
- Back there for me
- Pretend it's the end of a made-up story
- I'll fly, no proof
- Those heights,
- I'll never find another chance to say
- "Hey, thanks for saving my life"
- I was hopeless, it was stinging
- Driving roadless, we were singing
- at the top of our lungs to the numbness
- This city never died
- I'll say goodbye to the soul inside
- And yet somehow, there was romance
- In our self-hate, "we've got no chance"
- In this light maze, but let's hold hands
- Through the night haze, we'll run so fast
- 'Til the school chime, 'til the train runs
- We know it's time, we're the sane ones
- Waking up now, to the "real life"
- Let me daydream, 'til the next night
- I'll keep waiting
- I'll keep waiting for you
- Waking up now, to my real life
- Let me daydream, 'til the next flight
- Drowning so long, I got older
- Now the crowd's gone, is it over?
- Is it over?
