[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There's a sky
full of lights
And none of th
em stars
But each white
, silvery flic
ker's
A faithful rem
inder to us
Of a weight th
at's in youth
That makes a d
ick of us all
If it happened
today
Then it's prob
ably happened
before
In a crowd unf
amiliar
I just wanna t
ouch a familia
r face
And make frien
ds at the part
ies I've feare
d
The likes of a
n age
To be wanted w
ith truth
And make formi
dable love
See light in m
yself
That I see ins
ide everyone e
lse I know
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
It's not a lac
king of spine
Nor of physica
l pulse
It's just a fe
eling of dista
nce
Akin to a feel
ing of loss
Of love in the
youth
Of my limited
life
That passed in
a violent
And ritual scr
ewing inside
And the years
unfamiliar
Are made of in
creasingly dig
ital days
And I am griev
ing the loss o
f myself
With frighteni
ng malaise
When there's w
eightless in y
outh
And the sum of
it's small
Just stand in
the darkness
And laugh with
your heel on
its throat
[Chorus]
'Cause not ev
erything means
something, ho
ney
So say the uns
ayable
Say the most h
uman of things
And if everyth
ing is tempora
ry
I will bear th
e unbearable
Terrible trite
ness of being
[Post-chorus]
Alone in my ho
use
Frozen in time
But don't get
me wrong now,
honey
I am trying
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
There's a warm
th in the eyes
And a clearnes
s of thought
When the deepe
st of sighs
And the franke
st of shadows
are gone
We're pushing
a stone
Up a mountaino
us waste
And the lines
at the store
Look like line
s on a beautif
ul face
See, I'm not s
o assured
Nor unusually strong
Or outstanding
ly brave
I'm more just
fumbling aroun
d in the dark
For the bulk o
f my day
When there's w
eight that's i
n youth
And the sum of
it's small
I will stand i
n the darkness
And laugh with
my heel on it
s throat
[Chorus]
And not every
thing means so
mething, honey
So say the uns
ayable
Say the most h
uman of things
And if everyth
ing is tempora
ry
I will bear th
e unbearable
Terrible trite
ness of being
[Post-chorus]
Alone in my ho
use
Frozen away
But don't get
me wrong now,
honey
I'm okay
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Ah, cast me a
line
Ah honey, cast
me a line
Won't you fear
me tonight?
Goddamn, do yo
u fear me toni
ght?
Ah, pass me a
light
Ah honey, pass
me a light
Won't you feel
me tonight?
Goddamn do you
feel me tonig
ht?
[Chorus]
'Cause not ev
erything means
something, ho
ney
So say the uns
ayable
Say the most h
uman of things
If everything
is temporary
I will bear th
e unbearable
Terrible trite
ness of being
