[Verse 1]
And this could last a lifetime
The gazing at the rooftops
The being in love with something you never get to touch
And I've been working my ass off
Slaving at the bar
I am not what I thought, I've got knots in my throat and knots in my hair
Singing when will we get there
When will we get there
'Cause all of this dreaming is leaving these moments so bare
[Chorus]
Down at the bottom again, baby
And this could be the best part
Down at the bottom again
You look up and you'll see stars
And they say, little one
If you're not alright now
You're not gonna be alright when the day comes
[Verse 2]
And the ache of hunger
Is the pain of love
And it's a raging thunder that'll shatter the mind and then lift you up
With a silver string, you'll see the purple lights
On the letters that you write
And I don't wanna be it, used to want to need it
Every single night, every single night
[Pre-Chorus]
It's always gonna be a fight
Looking me into the eyes
But I will hold its head so very tight
[Chorus]
Down at the bottom again, baby
And this could be the best part
Down at the bottom again
You look up and you'll see stars
And they say, little one
If you're not alright now
You're not gonna be alright when the day comes
[Bridge]
When the day comes
There'll be no more crying in the car
No more forgetting where we are
And when the day comes
I'll have all your love
But I won't need it, I won't need it at all
[Outro}
Baby
I wanna look up and see the stars before they're all gone
And when the day comes, I will not be numb
I am not that one
