Closer to Our Graves

[Verse 1]
The world is blocked out in the bedroom
The radio won't let her down
Every note is a reminder
Another failure is born
Thirty miles outside Chicago
Kids know what's really going on
Still this gravel highway makes a statement
We're another town gone wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Movin' out and movin' on
You used to look like me
Movin' out and movin' on
Forever

[Chorus]
And this autumn air reminds
How things all slowly unwind
Changin' times have been unkind
To you
As these days they slip away
We grow closer to our graves
Had the best time of my life
Without you

[Verse 2]
It's three months since I've seen Chicago
Now the buildings aren't so tall
I found our initials in the pavement
Just another dream gone wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Movin' out and movin' on
You used to look like me
Movin' out and movin' on
Forever

[Chorus]
And this autumn air reminds
How things all slowly unwind
Changin' times have been unkind
To you
As these days they slip away
We grow closer to our graves
Had the best time of my life
Without you

[Bridge]
I bet it's simpler today
Throwin' everything away
But the memory remains
I bet it's simpler today
Throwin' everything away
But the memory remains
Forever

[Chorus]
And this autumn air reminds
How things all slowly unwind
Changin' times have been unkind
To you
As these days they slip away
We grow closer to our graves
Had the best time of my life
And this autumn air reminds
How things all slowly unwind
Changin' times have been unkind
To you
As these days they slip away
We grow closer to our graves
Had the best time of my life
