If All Else Fails

[Verse 1]
Well, that first dance in retrospect
Just two young lovers was taken as a slight or disrespect
They cased them from across the room
Their uniforms and unfiltered cigarettes were so in tune
While the rest of us would empathize
The rest of us could see behind their eyes
An escape, it would be wise

[Chorus]
Miles away (Miles away)
A flair goes up (A flair goes up)
Hide and wait (Hide and wait)
'Til it all blows up (It all blows up)
Oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Well, at first light they got away
By all accounts they left no trace, the dogs found no trace
Here, keep this baby too safe with the rings
One keepsake, a picture of your face
Your face
Oh, we found ourselves out at the edge
Of the fields and rolling hills I used to play
Oh, now they're scorched away

[Chorus]
Miles away (Miles away)
A flair goes up (A flair goes up)
Hide and wait (Hide and wait)
Till it all blows up (It all blows up)
We're still in denial (We're still in denial)
How's it go if all else fails?
So far past the dial (So far past the dial)
Where do we go if all else fails?

[Bridge]
(If all else fails)
(If all else fails)
(If all else fails)

[Verse 3]
Through the bar code made of oak and pine
Through the landscape laced with mines
They ran, they're still on the run today

[Chorus]
Miles away (Miles away)
A flair goes up (A flair goes up)
Hide and wait (Hide and wait)
Till it all blows up (It all blows up)
We're still in denial (We're still in denial)
How's it go if all else fails?
So far past the dial (So far past the dial)
Where do we go if all else fails?
