Turn the bars into cars
And wait for the lights to change
And take shape of people we used to know
'til they grow less fond of knowing
And we can ride in the night
And discard all the facts on our backs
Remembering the thoughts we thought
Since we got over our parents
And if we go where we go
And don't tell anyone where we're from
We can cut and paste the stars to our hearts
And understand their language
And we won't spit with our mouths
Or draw lines in the dirt with our heels
And every single day we'll just wait
And hope to see the next one
If we go down too easy my dear
We'll still be the heart of envy of all our friends and peers
So i get home to my home
The thoughts are in my head
And my bed is full of things i left
When i left her here
And the light through the blinds
And through the windowpane in the lane
Where the fire is getting cold
For they have burned all of their belongings
And up the stairs there's a pair
Who like to be made sure
That they were everything they are
For they are sadly mistaken
Now i forget how we met
Those days have all passed
Now the cast is filing to the stage
In a rage and taking their places
If we go down too easy my dear
We'll still be the heart of envy of all our peers and friends my dear
To them we'll be has-beens
To them be ___
To them be ___
Just posers posing
We'll leave when our eyes
And wave our goodbyes
And if that's what it takes
We'll both drink the kool-aid again
'til we've forgotten where our hearts have been
'til we've forgotten where our hearts have been
'til we forget just where our hearts have been
