[Verse 1]
Last night
You broke
It took me by surprise
Not so much
By your words
As that look in your eyes
I'm a little truth
A little lie
A slamming heart and door
You can stay on top of promises
When you're busy keeping score
[Chorus]
(We don't know how to fall)
Time moves slow
[Verse 2]
I drove down where the city lights
Catch most the streets on fire
I was looking for
The queens and fools
That everyone admires
I've heard they're pretty good
At melting down
Hearts made out of lead
Yeah, but I didn't think
The time was right
To shake hands with the dead
[Chorus]
(We don't know how to fall)
Yeah, time moves slow
I, I
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I didn't mean to take away
The hunger in your eyes
I'm catching up
On wasted years
I apologize for all the
Hopelessness and fantasy
That settled in my bones
You would think
That after all these years
These ghosts would leave us alone
[Chorus]
(We don't know how to fall)
Time moves slow
(We don't know)
(We don't know)
[Guitar Solo]
