lyrics

we stick together just to see how it ends,
see how we burn,
embrace each other just to see how we bend,
see if we learn.

so meet me in the corner,
we can fix it in the next life,
find a tender moment
at the parting of a path,
like all we ever wanted
was to live in a dream,
but it just isn't like we thought it would be.

somewhere within me there's a permanent sun,
permanent sky.
oh what a joy to fall in love
and slowly make it out alive.

so meet me in the corner,
we can fix it in the next life,
find a tender moment
at the parting of a path,
like all we ever wanted
was to live in a dream,
but this just isn't who i thought i would be.

leave it in the gutter,
i can fix it in the flashback.
better to believe it's just a part out of a plan.
now all i'm really feeling is a bitter relief,
it's not as painful as i thought it would be.
