Before It Breaks You

Their stars are crossing
And so are their fingers tonight
It's been dark for so long
Could it be there's the one with the light?
Their stars are crossing
Like lovers' stars do
Sometimes you cross it
Before it crosses you

It's cold in december
We wish it were summertime still
We're all in denial
Winter of death in its will
We can't help running
Avoiding its call
Another heartbroken winter
Will be the death of us all

The radio is broken
She sings out the truth in the night
You might see a horizon
But the ending is never in sight
The radio is broken
She's singing the truth
Sometimes you break it
Before it breaks you

The roar of the engine
Is pushing the dark from the night
And the further we travel
Our eyes will adjust to the light
The roar of the engine
Is calling to you
And you'd better answer
Before it calls someone new

Knocked knees and bad teeth
Golden dreams
Yes, please, let's take these
And fall to sleep

When you're gone don't lose your keys
Or you'll have no more home
Take your fruit from other trees
And you'll have none of your own
