Is this the part
Where the lights go out
And I finally say your name?

I had a heart
Like an empty house
Till you walked in with the rain

You were standing in the doorway
With the moon behind your hair
Like a beautiful disaster
That was never meant to care

I was dressed up like a stranger
Trying not to look afraid
But your eyes became a mirror
And I saw the mess I made

Oh I tried to be careful
I tried to be cold
But love is a fire
That never does what it’s told

You said “Don’t come closer”
But you didn’t move away
Now every little silence
Has something dangerous to say

These are all the ways we fall
Slowly then all at once
Writing our names on the wall
Calling it only once

These are all the ways we break
Softly without a sound
Kissing the edge of the flame
Then calling it holy ground

And I know I know I know
We were never built for small
But here we are
Learning all the ways we fall

Was it love?

Maybe maybe

Was it fate?

Too late too late

Was I wrong?

Say it say it

Did I stay?

You stayed you stayed

Did we run?

Never never

Did we know?

Better better

Then why does leaving
Feel like coming home?

(Alright Let’s tell it properly)

You kept a storm in your pocket
I kept a key in my mouth
We were both too proud to open
What we couldn’t live without

You called me sweet like a warning
I called you mine like a crime
Two little sparks in the morning
Trying to set fire to time

You said forever is heavy
I said tonight is enough
Then we laughed at the ceiling
Like we weren’t scared of love

Oh the room started spinning
The shadows took a bow
Your hand found my shoulder
And I forgot how

To be good
To be gone
To be anyone but yours

Now the night is a kingdom
And we’re breaking all its doors

These are all the ways we fall
Slowly then all at once
Writing our names on the wall
Calling it only once

These are all the ways we break
Softly without a sound
Kissing the edge of the flame
Then calling it holy ground

And I know I know I know
We were never built for small
But here we are
Learning all the ways we fall

(Wait)

What if we’re not ruined?
What if we’re just real?
What if every wound we hide
Is where the light gets in to heal?

I don’t need a perfect ending
I don’t need a golden sky
I just need your hand in mine
When the world forgets why

Don’t let go

Don’t let go

Don’t look down

Not right now

If we burn

Let us burn

If we fall

We fall loud

No not loud

Then fall proud

No not proud

Then fall true

All the ways I lose myself
Lead me back to you

Is this the part
Where the lights come up
And I finally tell the truth?

I had a heart
Like an empty house
Now every room is you

These are all the ways we fall
Slowly then all at once
Writing our names on the wall
Calling it only once

These are all the ways we break
Softly without a sound
Kissing the edge of the flame
Then calling it holy ground

And I know I know I know
We were never built for small
But here we are
Learning all the ways we fall

(If this is falling)

Then let me fall
Let me fall
Let me fall
With you

Slow wind on the empty street
Boots drag through the drifting heat
Shadows stretch across the town
One more sun is going down

Boardwalk creaks beneath my feet
Every sound repeats the beat
Windows closed and curtains drawn
Like this place has long been gone

Cards still lie upon the bar
Someone left a broken star
Dust is dancing in the light
Waiting for the coming night

Dust between the guns tonight
No one here to call it right
Every breath a loaded sound
Spinning slowly all around

Hands are steady hearts are slow
Every man already knows
When the silence starts to fall
No one leaves this street at all

Leather creaks across the lane
Every step repeats the same
Eyes are narrow time is thin
Like a clock about to spin

Old sign sways above the door
Scratching echoes on the floor
Somewhere far a trumpet cries
Like a warning in disguise

Dust between the guns tonight
No one here to call it right
Every breath a loaded sound
Spinning slowly all around

Hands are steady hearts are slow
Every man already knows
When the silence starts to fall
No one leaves this street at all

Wind moves softly through the town
One last figure lying down
Sun sinks red behind the plain
Only dust will stay again

Woke up in the shadow of night
Gotta keep my head up high
No tears no sign of fright
Underneath this endless sky

Facing battles with a smile
Every mile makes me wise
Every step takes a while
But I’ll soar above the lies

I am strong and unbreakable
Life’s a dance unshakable
Feel the beat I'm unchained
In this game I’ve remained

Through the storm and the rain
I found myself again
Not a moment spent in vain
I dance away the pain

I am strong and unbreakable
Life’s a dance unshakable
Feel the beat I'm unchained
In this game I’ve remained

Every heartbeat a new dawn
Mind so fierce moving on
I won’t break I won’t fall
Through it all I stand tall

Uhh
Mmm
Mm-hmm
Mmm-mm mm-mm mm-mm (Mm-mm)
Mm-mm-mm-mm mm (Ayy)
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

And when the night comes
Baby
You won't be long (Mm-mm)
And when the morning come
Pssh
Ugh!
You're gone (You're gone aye)
W-w-when the dark clouds open
The lights will burn (Burn)
Tell me
Yah-yah
Yah-yah
What's goin' on? (Tell me yah-yah-yah-yah)

And you're hiding in the dark on a mountain
And you're slowin' down—uh—because you're busy
Busy
Wow-wow
And you swipe it
Swipe it
Down-up-up
Down-up-down
And you're so hot
Hotter than the Buenos Mama (Ah)

Mmm-mm mm-mm mm-mm (Mm-mm)
Mm-mm-mm-mm mm (Ayy)
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Yeah movin’ through the night got my mind on the run
Shadows in the rearview but I ain't the one
Swipe left swipe right I ain't playin’ no games
Every step that I take I be switchin’ the lanes

Got a call from the past but I let it decline
Ain’t no time for the fake I be chasin’ the shine
Skyline glowin’ yeah the city stay alive
When the dark clouds break man the stars gotta rise

Tell me yah-yah what's goin’ on?
Took a leap of faith now the fear is gone
Lights too bright but I play along
When the morning comes I’ll be movin’ on

When the night comes
Baby
You won't be long (Uh-)
When the morning come
Pssh
Ugh!
He's gone (He's gone he's gone)
W-w-when the dark clouds open
The lights will burn
Tell me
Yah-yah
Three
Four
What's goin' on? (Tell me yah-yah-yah-yah)

Tell me
Yah-yah
What's goin' on?
Tell me
Yah-yah
What's goin' on?
Tell me
Yah-yah
What's goin' on?
Tell me
Yah-yah
What's goin' on?

You touched my name with a fingertip lie
Then vanished like sugar in red wine
I didn’t chase I didn’t speak
But I rewrote you in every beat

You blink I break
You breathe I ache
You move I wait
(I wait I wait)

Come turn me on like a velvet switch
No promises just static twitch
Don’t love me—just circle back
One more loop then fade to black

(Ahh…)
Circle back
(Ahh…)
Fade to black

Your silence talks in Morse to me
I hum it back unconsciously
No need for vows no names to curse
We orbit pain—but in reverse

You blink I float
You breathe I choke
You move I glow
(You know you know)

Come turn me on like a velvet switch
Forget the rules forget the glitch
Don’t stay long—just mark the track
One more loop then no way back

(Hmm…)
Mark the track…
(Hmm…)
No way back…

It’s not love—
Just beautiful damage
A signal you sent
But never managed
(And I… tuned in anyway)

Come turn me on like a velvet switch
Whisper sweet in a foreign pitch
Don’t need truth—just feedback hum
One more loop—then I’ll come undone

(Undone…)
(Undone…)

You taste like trouble and cheap red wine

Black boots kicking off the dashboard side
Your hair messed up and your friends outside
Small town talk but we move too fast
Everybody staring when we walk past

You laugh loud when the speakers break
Steal my jacket like a little game
Hands cold wrapped around my neck
You say “relax” then make a mess

Oh-oh
Don’t stop now
Oh-oh
Spin me around

Kiss me when I’m lying
Tell me I’m your type
We can fake forever for a Friday night
(Yeah yeah)

Your lipstick on my cigarette
Your number in my head again
One look and I lose control
Like whoa-oh-oh

Taxi doors and buzzing amps
Cheap hotel and tangled hands
Your dance moves cutting through the room
Everybody watching you

Low lights flicker on your rings
You move sharp to the kick drum beat
Every word got attitude
God you make bad ideas look cool

No sleep
Heartbeat
Fast lane
On repeat

Kiss me when I’m lying
Tell me I’m your type
We can fake forever for a Friday night
(Hey hey)

Your perfume on my leather coat
You pull away then pull me close
One touch and I lose control
Like whoa-oh-oh

Bad habits look good on you
Too much smoke in the dressing room
Red lights blur when you bite your lip
Whole damn room start losing it

Kiss me when I’m lying
Dance into the light
Young hearts burning through the after-midnight
(Yeah yeah)

Your name stuck like a melody
Wild eyes full of energy
One kiss and the whole world spins
Again and again

Black boots
Backseat
Your laugh
Still on me

This town is no stranger to me
No new pastures
Just better pasture memories
Human nature calling my name
Lights goin' out faster than 747's

Summers are colder now
Air feels dangerous
Small town stranger for now

Russian doll suitcase says one thing
That a lifetime of memories could never bring

They say she don't have much
You need weight to float things
Car's filling up

One thing she entertains
Swimmin' in Godlight
Floating down memory lane

Maps and posters
Letters from interstate
She gathers and disseminates
Board her plane
She watches her past
Nothing's meant to last

Russian doll suitcase says one thing
That a lifetime of memories could never bring

Dust on the floor where we used to stand
Promises slipped right out of our hands
The radio hums a song we knew
But the melody feels like it's lost its truth

Worn-out pages stories told
Fingers trace what we can’t hold
There’s a silence loud and clear
A reflection of what we fear

Tell me is it love or is it a fight?
Do we stay or fade into the night?
We’re caught in a space between the lines
Looking for answers crossing the signs

Faded pictures stacked on the shelf
We became strangers to ourselves
Every question leads to a wall
Every moment feels so small

Worn-out pages stories told
Fingers trace what we can’t hold
There’s a silence loud and clear
A reflection of what we fear

Tell me is it love or is it a fight?
Do we stay or fade into the night?
We’re caught in a space between the lines
Looking for answers crossing the signs

Maybe we’re just scared to leave
Hiding truth we won’t believe
Every tear a bitter cost
Falling in love but feeling lost

It’s the weight of what we don’t say
Holds us back but makes us stay
Still we wonder still we try
To keep the flame to touch the sky

Tell me is it love or is it a fight?
Do we stay or fade into the night?
We’re caught in a space between the lines
Looking for answers crossing the signs

Dust settles slow but we remain
Two hearts beating through the same refrain
If we let go will we know why?
Or stay tangled in the reasons we can’t deny

Sweat in patches drenching my hoodie
No seduction
Clear as it should be
Although too tired to exercise even
I can walk to the alley or even the other precinct

Was I (And did you even listen?)
Mad like Dad (When I wanted to hold on?)

With whom I'm meeting
On this earth of neon light
Under stardust
The past flickering
But it's getting cold outside

My third lollipop
A fabled bloodsucker
They make fun of me
But it's my true character
Jingle bells outside
Kids in the dark
Can't help but think of home and how it fell apart

Was I (And did you even listen?)
Mad like Dad (When I wanted to hold on?)

With whom I'm meeting
On this earth of neon light
Under stardust
The past flickering
But it's getting cold outside

Nothing's subtle
They've exposed the situation
Here's a summary of the monetization
Buy their cheap toys
Last year's commemorations
And throw it away to save another generation

With whom I'm meeting
On this earth of neon light
Under stardust
The past flickering
But it's getting cold outside

The wheel keeps turning the days roll by
I’m standing still while the clouds climb high
Footsteps I’ve taken they vanish in dust
Chasing shadows but who can I trust?

These roads don’t lead back
I’m learning from the cracks

Oh oh change is callin’ me
Oh oh set me free
(Yeah yeah) I’m not the same
(Woah woah) Feel the flame
(Feel the flame)
(Callin' me)

Skies are shifting the wind’s in my hair
Can’t run from the truth it’s everywhere
Mountains I climb just to fall back down
Still I rise won't stay on the ground

These roads don’t lead back
I’m learning from the cracks

Oh oh change is callin’ me
Oh oh set me free
(Yeah yeah) I’m not the same
(Woah woah) Feel the flame
(Feel the flame)
(Callin' me)

I'm chasing the unknown
Falling like a stone

Oh oh change is callin’ me
Oh oh set me free
(Yeah yeah) I’m not the same
(Woah woah) Feel the flame
(Feel the flame)
(Callin' me)

(ha!)
The lock is broken doors swing wide
No more shadows I need to hide

Your perfume fades on an empty shelf
I found a mirror I found myself
Every promise was a borrowed flame
Now I walk and forget your name (uhh)

Chains fall silent on the floor
Wings I never used before
Every breath tastes sharp and new
Every step pulls me through (yeah ha!)

I’m alive I’m alive (woo!)
Burning like the morning rise
Can’t hold me I’m untamed (ha!)
Your love was a painted game
Now the echoes fade from me (na-na)
Every step is victory
I’m alive I’m alive
Cooler than the tears I cried (uhh)

Empty glass on the wooden rail
Stories sink but my ship will sail
Every memory’s a paper boat
Drifting far till it can’t float (yeah)

Chains fall silent on the floor
Wings I never used before
Every breath tastes sharp and new
Every step pulls me through (woo!)

I’m alive I’m alive (say it loud)
Burning like the morning rise
Can’t hold me I’m untamed (ohhh)
Your love was a painted game
Now the silence sings with me (yeah yeah)
Every step is victory
I’m alive I’m alive
Cooler than the tears I cried (hah!)

You thought I’d break…
But I’m stronger than the storm
I’m running past the past
And it will never find me again (mmm)

I’m alive I’m alive (uhh woo!)
Burning like the morning rise
Can’t hold me I’m untamed (ha!)
Your love was a painted game
Now the silence sings with me (na-na-na)
Every step is victory
I’m alive I’m alive
Cooler than the tears I cried (yeah yeah yeah)

(ha!)
Cooler than the tears I cried…
Cooler than the tears I cried
