lyrics

So this is where you had to be
Heart on a string, tied for all the world to see
Praying it won't break

I used to wish for happenstance
To live and die with real romance
God help me if I don't know what that takes

Back home, things were so serene
With no starting gun, gotta catch up with this dream
If it's not too late
And time in time will fall upon these towers I've been leaning on

But which will be the last one standing straight?

Well, someday light will come to reap
This midnight veil, so you know we gotta keep
Holding brave till then

I think I've got these sidewalks down
And I love them, though I fear this town
Gonna kill the flower child I've never been
