[Verse 1]
We'll take it easy, tigers in a cage
We're pacing on our pads, and waiting
For the town to come in reverie
Our lazy bones ache for our dowry
[Chorus]
You can't hold on to the thrill
So I hope you find your will to follow through
What we invented, I am now ending
Hold on to who you love
We are dry and blown like dust since we were young
What we invented, I am now ending
[Verse 2]
The closest thing we had to royalty
A chance to break our parents' pattern
We chose to keep our teenage tragedy
In lieu of their romantic palette
Play tender like a newborn baby would
Play tender 'til the night is over
I'm leaving you to nurture cherished wounds
And care for it just like your lover, yeah
[Chorus]
You can't hold on to the thrill
So I hope you find your will to follow through
What we invented, I am now ending
Hold on to who you love
We are dry and blown like dust since we were young
What we invented, I am now ending
[Chorus 2]
You can't hold on to the thrill
So I hope you find your will to follow through
What we invented, I am now ending
Hold on to who you love
We are dry and blown like dust since we were young
The morning's over, the day is in full swing
