lyrics

While the whole car ride took me 23 hours
I arrived home
And baby we breathed together
You said we'll forget all of this by morning
Regular scenery it stunned me
Beautiful industry in a snapshot
And moths beat down our faces
We'll fly even if we have to fake it

We're trying to walk downtown
So having a home won't seem so hard
Convenient raincoat kept us warm under car exhaust
And all the time we'd lost
And occasionally we felt like saviors
Walking the streets we came here for
Prophesizing on a park bench
Call us crazy but we know where your days went

They've burned down beautifully
And out of sight
Like it was real life
They've burned down beautifully
And out of sight
Like it was real life

Well I surprised you on your birthday
By showing up with better things to say
It's too hot so I complain that
Summer's better later anyways
I would like to stay in winter
Afterthoughts were less regretted there
Like laying on the bed and wishing
We were high and always listening

We've burned down beautifully
And out of sight
Like it was real life
We've burned down beautifully
And out of sight
Like it was real life
