I was somewhere in the audience
I was in a crowd within a crowd
my mind was wandering
untethered from the sound
and it feels like forever they've been saying
how nothing lasts forever
so how do I just keep on falling in love with the same things all over again
all over again
she picks the locks on all of the other dreaming passengers
she blows the candles out on the tops of all the buildings
and we ride into the capital like star-crossed citizens...
I've been lying to this microphone
as to my whereabouts
and now the guy who runs the neighbourhood's been asking
asking about us
just let the green lights go
just let the airports leave without us
for once in your life
for once in my life
she picks the locks on all of the other dreaming passengers
she blows the candles out on the tops of all the buildings
and we ride into the capital like star-crossed citizens...
