we walked hand in hand 
as we talked about anything but about this lie
side by side, lie by lie.
and we talked about who we are
about who we were,
oh we fought to be heard.

we don’t know where were going, 
just as long as we don’t notice, 
that moment that you can’t un-notice, 
that maybe we aren’t aren’t quite so perfect 
maybe we don’t have a purpose, 
maybe she is not the one that, 
makes your heart beat coz you’re nervous, 
in this moment life is worthless, 
that when notice you're depressed, 
your life’s a lie and she’s the mistress.   

oh we walked hand in hand 
and we talked (about anything but about this lie)
side by side, lie by lie.
oh we talked about who we are
we fought for who we are,
we fought to be heard.

Of course you love her (yes you know this.)
you poetic dick, 
you almost blew this,
don’t let the world control you thoughts here 
take your time and return to the moment
go and throw your arms around her 
kiss her (even though the clouds burst)
two soaking souls that are surrounded 
gripped together in the moment.
now throw yourselves against the current
experience this new found love and
remember what you’d forgotten?
remember now how you’d get lost in her?    

we walked hand in hand 
and we talked about anything 
side by side, night by night.
oh we walked.
