And They Said We Couldn't Fly

Take a trip down these empty streets

And see what we have done

This night was once so alive

And full of wide awake eyes

This beating in my chest is getting old

And some stories are best left untold

And if its time to lay our heads down

Then I must protest.

Now this party has brought us down

Into the sewers where our tears flow

My mind is swimming with sharks

I can't see where I'm walking

Because your love has left me blind

And so it shall for all of time

And if this is all my future holds

Then I must protest.

Can't you tell?

This isn't meant to be

And can't you see

You've brought it apon yourself

This ship is sinking

Now there's only one lifejacket

And I don't feel like sharing

So I guess this is goodbye.

And they said we couldn't fly

So id happily watch you fall

This morning my alarm went off

And I thought about what the day will bring

So the alarm clock is smashed against the wall

And I went back to sleep

Cus the white doves serenade

Was written by drunken men

To forget the seconds spent sober.

Every time I said I loved you

I fucking lied

And every time I said you looked beautiful

My stomach fucking turned.

Take a trip down these empty streets

And see what we have done

This night was once so alive

And full of wide awake eyes

This beating in my chest is getting old

And some stories are best left untold

And if its time to lay our heads down

Then I must protest.

Now this party has brought us down

Into the sewers where our tears flow

My mind is swimming with sharks

I can't see where I'm walking

Because your love has left me blind

Why do I do this to myself?

And if this is all my future holds

Then I must protest.

Can't you tell?

This isn't meant to be

And can't you see

You've brought it apon yourself

This ship is sinking

Now there's only one lifejacket

And I don't feel like sharing

So I guess this is goodbye.

And they said we couldn't fly

So id happily watch you fall
