Sorry I couldn't be there, I was tied to a rocking chair
I was beat down to a pulp rocking back and forth somewhere
If you knew, if you saw, you'd have said it was the final straw
That my life was bound and tethered on a porch by the shore
And if I could say, if only in my dreams you're the luckiest girl
In the world there's no other more lucky in love, you don't have to explain it
'Cause you're the one who's in love and we'll have so much fun.
Because the world goes on without us
It doesn't matter what we do.
All silhouettes with no regrets
When I'm melting into you
I belong in your arms
But honestly it's fine
When I mention I love you
It's all I do
I know the world is new
And what you lost inside, inside of you
And all the love we shared is true
And it’s hard without you
Other people want to keep in touch
Something happens and it's not enough
Never thought that it would mean so much
So don’t get scared.
What would you say?
There will be things we never dared
If I fell apart, could you bring me back then?
A failed ambition's held up on tridents
I hope predictions of future come true
All the tin can buildings rattle the sidewalk
All the cars upturned talk like the trains
Ten thousand red balloons over New York
Hope the bridges all burn your life away
The sounds caress our fears
and we've put off the silence
that hung so long in stale air
That used to be a mystery
a secret book to unlock
but we've stopped writing in it or thrown away the key
Now find the peace you deserve
The stars hang in a shroud
And those whispers turn to shouts
Return to form again
Go on let 'em out
Apologies like the birds in the sky
And even they are falling like the tears in my eyes
Everyone's asking, everyone's asking.
Know that you don't mean to say things
That hurt me and drive me to my knees
Been around this crazy world
But I still want to be your girl
Goodbye, 2012. Hello, 2013. I think we'll be friends.
