The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Wanna lie with you forever

In what's left of the west, oh

I've never seen you

Not lookin' your best

White sands and cigarettes

Crashin' like old regrets

If this ain't it, then I

Don't know what is

It's rainin' in the hills again

And I know it sucks but let's pretend

I'll call you when I need a friend

You'll answer when hell freezes over

Practice penitence

Of glorious irrelevance

You needed me once, I

Know you did

I dreamed a dream

That we had it all

From our white paper houses

Overlooking the cars

The city was burnin'

Still, we smiled through it all

Now, like our white paper houses

Darlin', we're caught in the fire

Like the sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll

The past is unsustainable

The ballerina twirled and choked

And now she's spinnin' end over end

I wanna make amends

For the smile that broke down at the stem

I loved you once

I know I said that I did

I dreamed a dream

That we had it all

From our white paper houses

Overlooking the cars

The city was burnin'

Still, we smiled through it all

Now, like our white paper houses

Darlin', we're burnin' alive

I had it all to

To give to you, you

We're burnin' alive

We're burnin' alive

Terrible like

Like cheap perfume

We're burnin' alive

We're burnin' alive

I promised you a mansion

Then we settled for the hills

Told you we could have it all

Then I tore up your precious will

Party favors brought the guests

Spilled the bottle, spent the rent

Fillin' empty houses with

Old, dead friends

If I told you I loved you

Could we have it all again?

I dreamed a dream

That we had it all

From our white paper houses

Overlooking the cars

The city was burnin'

Still, we smiled through it all

Now, like our white paper houses

Darlin', we're burnin' alive

I dreamed a dream

That we had it all

From our white paper houses

Overlooking the cars

The city was burnin'

Still, we smiled through it all

Now, like our white paper houses

Darlin', we're burnin' alive

I had it all to

To give to you, you

We're burnin' alive

We're burnin' alive

Terrible like

Like cheap perfume

Our white paper houses

Darlin', we're caught in the fire
