We're running wild
And we're high as a child
But we grin
Knowing our days
Were numbered
Before they began
I can't resist
Some formula tiff
Just to brace her
It's easy now
You knock me over my head
But be smart
While the whole thing starts
If they come at all
Cross words
I try to spit it out
But it's all just birds
But when I think of all your little looks
The love we've made flows in my mind
Now it's just for desperate looks
And killing time
Out on the beach
Every night it would seem
We were absent
Folding your hands
We discussed all the things we'd want
I thought that I
Just couldn't survive in a rough world
You'd be so careful
You'd be the only one that's left
But be smart
While the whole thing starts
If they come at all
Cross words
I try to spit it out
But it's all just birds
And every now and then
I get really scared
I'll call you just to give my life
Like the man who broke down
And all my life and you weren't really there
I'll put my head under the stars
I'm gonna have a say with my guitars
And in my fears
All my life, and it leaps like years
All my life
And in my hand
All my life
It slips like sand
So every now and then when you're feeling bad
Don't try too hard
Stick around out there with us
And all my life and now you're really scared
I'll pull the dark out of the sky
Make a new day
Nice and bright
And leave it
