I never knew

I never knew that everything

Was falling through

That everyone I knew

Was waiting on a queue

To turn and run

When all I needed was the truth



But that's how it's got to be

It's coming down to

Nothing more than apathy

I'd rather run the other way

Than stay and see

The smoke and who's still

Standing when it clears



* Everyone knows I'm in 

Over my head

Over my head

With eight seconds left in overtime

She's on your mind

She's on your mind 



Let's rearrange

I wish you were a stranger

I could disengage

Say that we agree

And then never change

Soften a bit

Until we all just get along



But that's disregard

You find another friend

And you discard

As you lose the argument

In a cable car

Hanging above

As the canyon comes between



[Repeat * , *]



And suddenly

I become a part of your past

I'm becoming the part

That don't last

I'm losing you

And its effortless



Without a sound

We lose sight of the ground 

In the throw around

Never thought that you wanted

To bring it down

I won't let it go down

'Till we torch it ourselves



[Repeat * , *]
