The Panic

[Intro]
Shouldn't we be loved?
Shouldn't we be making plans?
We're standing on our own

[Verse 1]
If I leave the panic of today
I wouldn't have to hang my head tomorrow
I can feel the seconds slide away
A lonely mechanism to start over

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's such a steel cold grey
The colour of a long lost day

[Chorus]
Carry it on
Carry it off
It's such an obvious response
Why do we always sleep alone?
Taking it out
Keeping it in
How do we know where to begin?
Deep in our hearts we sleep alone

[Verse 2]
If I lock the panic deep inside
Could I become conditioned to the silence?
All loneliness aside
Is this the way I wanna face subsistence?

[Pre-Chorus]
And so I paint a steel cold grey
In honour of a long lost day

[Chorus]
Carry it on
Carry it off
It's such an obvious response
Why do we always sleep alone?
Taking it out
Keeping it in
How do we know where to begin?
Deep in our hearts we sleep alone

[Bridge]
Shouldn't we be loved?
Shouldn't we be making plans?
We're standing on our own
And holding out our fears
Shouldn't we be loved?
And surely we can understand
We're never on our own
Shouldn't we be home?

[Chorus]
Carry it on
(Shouldn't we be loved?)
Carry it off
It's such an obvious response
(Shouldn't we be making plans?)
Why do we always sleep alone?
(We're standing on our own)
(And holding out our fears)
Taking it out
(Shouldn't we be loved?)
Keeping it in
How do we know where to begin?
(Surely we can understand)
Deep in our hearts we sleep alone
(We're never on our own)
(Shouldn't we be home?)
Deep in our hearts we sleep alone
(Shouldn't we be home?)
Deep in our hearts we sleep alone
