Lyrics:
I wrote across the midnight skyline
Scribbled your name in the galaxy's alpine
Did you ever see it?
I wrote a song that was sprinkled with sunshine
With melodies that playfully intertwine
Did you ever feel it?

Is it too late to go back home?

If you can't breathe, solace will find you
So lace your shoes, meet with mine at the rendezvous
Oo oo ooo
If you can't speak, solace will find you
Sift out the words, let the poetry imbue
Oo oo ooo
It'll all be over soon

I wrote a note that now lives on your door frame
Walking past, I can't help but feel ashamed
I'm surprised you read it
I wrote some lines, you're the only one that listened
We can't help it, that's just how we've been conditioned
But can't we break out of it?

Is it too late to go back home?

If you can't breathe, solace will find you
So lace your shoes, meet with mine at the rendezvous
Oo oo ooo
If you can't speak, solace will find you
Sift out the words, let the poetry imbue
Oo oo ooo
It'll all be over- 

Soon enough we'll come alive
And do much more than just survive
(And we'll go much further)
A decent car, a modest heart
Belongings stacked in shopping carts
And a home
Our hearts beating to the metronome

So if you can't breathe, solace will find you
So lace your shoes, meet with mine at the rendezvous
Oo oo ooo
And if you're not sure if you can pull through
That's alright, we'll just have to make do
I'll stand by you

If you can't breathe, solace will find you
So lace your shoes, meet with mine at the rendezvous
Oo oo ooo
If you can't speak, solace will find you
Sift out the words, let the poetry imbue
Oo oo ooo
And it'll all be over soon

Lyrics:
A modern time, a modern crime
I've had my share of sorrows
Why does this one hurt the most?
The clothes I wore
Slump at the door
Stacking higher up every day
And it's keeping all my friends trapped in the doorway

I keep messing up, I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I hope someday this cloud won't follow me
Around and 'round, 'round and 'round
Finding the words to save you

(Guys, guys wait which bar are we at?)

A vicious youth, a vicious truth
Those memories echo in my mind
They haunt me all the time
These hollow walls
Their choking cores
Tiny cracks that I can slip into
'Til it suffocates like voices in a landslide

I keep messing up, I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I hope someday this cloud won't follow me
Around and 'round, 'round and 'round
Finding the words to save you

(Shan!)

I keep messing up, I'm sorry, oh
I hope someday this cloud won't follow me
Around and 'round, 'round and 'round
Finding the words,
Finding the words,
Finding the words to...
SAVE YOU!

I keep messing up, I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I hope someday this cloud won't follow me
Around and 'round, 'round and 'round
Finding the words to save you

Lyrics:
So are you happy?
I'm moving out next year
Closed doors, blank walls, new floors
A new home you need to care for
Is this the life you want?
A place away from dad and mum
Closed doors, blank walls, new floors
Closed doors

I’m still here
At gates that never opened right
Stuck inside
Turnstiles in the dimming light
Get me out
Everything’s spinning but nothing is moving
Stuck inside
Static and stagnant

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) (x4)

Have you had enough
Of my selfish thoughts
And the space that they take
There’s still so much left
Things we haven’t said
But I know we can’t stay
No, I know we can’t
Know we can’t stay

What now?
If we say goodbye, will we still speak? (x3)
What now?
If we say goodbye
Say goodbye

Oh I can barely breathe
Been standing at your door
Can’t push myself to just
Walk away and leave

So are you happy?
I'm moving out next year
Closed doors, blank walls, new floors
A new home you need to care for
Is this the life you want?
A place away from dad and mum
Closed doors, blank walls, new floors
Closed doors, blank walls, new floors

Remember to always forget me
And I’ll never truly leave
Remember to always forget me
Remember, remember, remember for me

So are you happy? (x3)
So are you happy?
You happy now?
