[Verse 1]
We're breaking promises we thought we could keep
We trigger avalanches unknowingly
We travel in and out, we take off, we land
We live in airports like we don't have a plan
This is a journey and we call it home
And when it stops we're feeling miserable, well
[Pre-Chorus 1]
We're breaking promises we thought we could keep
We trigger hurricanes unwillingly
It's our fault when it all
Breaks into everyone's lives
But are we really to blame?
[Chorus]
It's like a pain in the chest
Despair, hangover and ecstasy
So many people around
We disappoint and let down
And though we're trying our best
Despair, hangover and ecstasy
Despair, hangover and ecstasy
[Verse 2]
We're breaking promises we thought we could keep
We trigger avalanches unknowingly, oh
We're not so different from convicts on the run
Freedom could kill us but we'd rather go on
This is a journey and we wanna go far
They say we're selfish but this plane is on fire
[Pre-Chorus 2]
We're breaking promises we wanted to keep
We trigger hurricanes unwillingly
It's our fault when it all
Gets into everyone's lives
Still we would do it again
[Chorus]
It's like a pain in the chest
Despair, hangover and ecstasy
So many people around
We disappoint and let down
And though we're trying our best
Despair, hangover and ecstasy
Despair, hangover and ecstasy
[Chorus]
Like a pain in the chest
Despair, hangover and ecstasy
So many people around
We disappoint and let down
And though we're trying our best
Despair, hangover and ecstasy
Our only mission, our destiny
