We have such a dark history.
She was always there.
Letting go of coins into passed away pay-phones,
Listening to me gasp for air.
She's in between the lines,
Each word a different lie.
Crying out "god bless you."
God bless the ones we forget.
I've had my wars, trust me.
I fought my world, trust me.
Turnstile trials swing us round to your confession.
An orchestra of jackals sing notes of my depression.
You're my favorite lullaby,
Sing that song one last time tonight.
When I am lost, you'll always be my true north.
Little candle in the dark,
Burn forever in my heart.
And keep me warm, always.
I'll keep you warm, always.
I wish we'd go back.
I'd change us - make us new.
I'd build an empire just for you.
Your cheap-shots,
Your bottled thoughts.
Our loudmouthed romance came off as vainglorious.
I know we shouldn't,
You say it all the time.
But I can't help it,
and why should I?
This is why we're here,
Trembling in the dark.
We're young and we can
escape if we want.
I keep these secrets we made
close to my heart,
Nobody else will ever know
how beautiful they are.
'Cause they belong to you and me,
and nothing can ever take that away.
You're my favorite lullaby,
Sing that song one last time tonight.
When I am lost, you'll always be my true north.
(My true north).
Little candle in the dark,
Burn forever in my heart.
And keep me warm, always.
I'll keep you warm, always.
