We're out all night and we sleep all day And wait for meteors to show us the way Living on liquid we extract from the ground Burying our bones where they will never be found My arms are strange to the feel of the touch But at the same time never wanted so much We'll heed the demons and we'll shut out our peers, and with Our liquid courage we can live without fear And she waits, and I wait For the day it will stay And she waits, and I wait For the way we will say... The flames are fanned with a flick of her wrist I never dreamt that it could feel like this Electric currents from my feet to my fists A million suns could never shine through the mists that We seem to draw when we escape in the dark My body's charge becomes a perilous spark Ignites the fire that resides in our hearts, on this Private stage we gladly both play our parts And she waits, and I wait For the day it will stay And she waits, and I wait For the way we will say...

I love it when you laugh, and even when you tease I love to lay awake and listen to you breathe I'm sorry that you're far away, I hate it when you're gone But every week is bearable, cuz I'll see you before long You have the patience of a saint I'm glad for that, because a smart man I ain't You shine brighter than any star I always want to be where you are I will stare into your eyes all night as my prize I know sometimes I say some pretty silly things But I take my consolation in the laughter that it brings In twenty-eight days we'll lay upon the shore As long as it's with you, there's nothing I want more So place a gentle hand in mine And leave it there for all of time I know true beauty must be This angel lying next to me And I will gaze into her eyes all night as my prize

Quickly comes the close of day The storm has chased the sun away Some hearts should never be broken Some words should never be spoken And now there's nothing left to say Flowerpot shattered on the floor Nothing grows here anymore Silence hangs where the pot once hung Worse than a curse in any tongue As the flower's slowly blowing out the door And the signs were there But they were so unaware You just can't see past the tip of your nose When you're staring deeply into eyes like those And in the stillness approaching fast The sobbing sun, the storm has passed Apologetic thoughts exchanged The hanging garden rearranged But like all good things, they should know it just won't last And the signs are there But they just don't care You just can't see past the tip of your nose When you're slowly drowning in eyes like those

The Escape 05:53
The headlights are our vanguard In the rearview civilization slowly fades away Your head rests on my shoulder My feeble words cannot describe this love that we have made They must know we're gone by now That world of pages, world of cages never held the key The lake unfolds before us It wouldn't be so beautiful without you next to me Wherever we go is where we are It's our sacred place, so close yet so far And I'll be your sky, and you'll be my star Wherever we go is where we are The moonlight is our candle Reflected on the stillest waters eyes have ever seen A breeze floats through the trees And I've forgotten until now that air can be this clean You trace lines on my back with your fingers Spelling out our names and favorite songs All I can do is hold you close Soon we'll be home wishing for our next escape to come along Wherever we go is where we are It's our sacred place, so close yet so far And I'll be your sky, and you'll be my star Wherever we go is where we are
