We live in the backwoods chasing pure light.
We will never stop from moving.
The outside lines have blurred,
our minds
are up the coast and down in the suburbs.
And high is low and magic happens, 
on an empty street,
so silent you can hear you heart beat.
I've known you since you made the sign.

And I've been watching you,
no end to the evil summer,
everyone's eyes on the girl outnumbered.
Can't stop what you feel inside let sparks fly true.
All our secret behaviors,
hold on let the time make it alright.
I see you, I must do
what my heart tells me to.

Everyone's got skeletons in our lives.
Promise me you won't sleep through the future
this time.
Don't let your tears be the story you tell.
I believe in angels ringing broken bells.
I believe that you and I will find ourselves.
We will escape when you give me the sign.

And I've been watching you,
no end to the evil summer,
everyone's eyes on the girl outnumbered.
Can't stop what you feel inside let sparks fly true.
All our secret behaviors,
hold on let the time make it alright.
I see you, I must do
what my heart tells me to.
