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.

We're breaking promises we thought we could keep

We trigger avalanches unknowingly

We travel in and out, we take off, we land

We live in airports like we don't have a plan

This is a journey and we call it home

And when it stops we're feeling miserable, well

We're breaking promises we thought we could keep

We trigger hurricanes unwillingly

It's our fault

When it all

Breaks into everyone's lives

But are we really to blame?

It's like a pain in the chest

Despair, hangover and ecstasy

So many people around

We disappoint and let down

And though we're trying our best

Despair, hangover and ecstasy

Despair, hangover and ecstasy

We're breaking promises we thought we could keep

We trigger avalanches unknowingly, oh

We're not so different from convicts on the run

Freedom could kill us, but we'd rather go on

This is a journey and we wanna go far

They say we're selfish but this plane is on fire

We're breaking promises we wanted to keep

We trigger hurricanes unwillingly

It's our fault

When it all

Breaks into everyone's lives

Still we would do it again

It's like a pain in the chest

Despair, hangover and ecstasy

So many people around

We disappoint and let down

And though we're trying our best

Despair, hangover and ecstasy

Despair, hangover and ecstasy

Like a pain in the chest

Despair, hangover and ecstasy

So many people around

We disappoint and let down

And though we're trying our best

Despair, hangover and ecstasy

Our only mission, our destiny

Miracles (back in time)

I still have some pictures on my wall

I still know the places where they're from

I still find all answers in my dreams

I still feel the gum under my shoe

How about holding a palm full of miracles

How about building a house on the moon

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna go back?

I still care about you being well

I still wonder how we conquered hell

I still love this nonsense team we make

I still think we're twisted both the same

How about holding a palm full of miracles

How about building a house on the moon

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna, really wanna go?

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna go back in time?

Do you really wanna, really wanna go?

Do you really wanna go back in time?
