Model house life meltdown
Still a modern dream let down
It kills me you know
I’m dying out here
What would you trade the pain for?
I’m not sure
We were a hammer
to the Statue of David
We were a painting
you could never frame and
You were the sunshine
Of my lifetime
What would you trade the pain for?
This city always hangs a little bit
lonely on me
Loose
Like a kid playing pretend
in his father’s suit
I’d never go, I just want to be invited
Oh
Got to give up
Get the feeling
Get the feeling
Don’t fight it
Fight it
Sending my love from the other side
of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don’t look back
Every lover’s got a little dagger
in their hand
Love from the other side
of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don’t look back
Every lover’s got a little dagger
in their hand
Generation sleep I’m falling
in and out of love
I’m getting that tilted
feeling out here
What would you trade the pain for?
I’m not sure
Nowhere left for us
to go but heaven
Summer falling through
our fingers again and
You were the sunshine
Of my lifetime
What would you trade the pain for?
They say we gotta get ahead yeah,
No matter what it takes
But there’s no way off the hamster
wheel on this rat race
I’d never go, I just want to be invited
Oh
Got to give up
Get the feeling
Get the feeling
Don’t fight it
Fight it
Sending my love from the other side
of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don’t look back
Every lover’s got a little dagger
in their hand
Love from the other side
of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don’t look back
Every lover’s got a little dagger
in their hand
I saw you in a bright clear field
Hurricane heat in my head
The kind of pain you feel
to get good in the end
Good in the end
Inscribed like stone
and faded by the rain:
“Give up what you love
Give up what you love before it
does you in…”
Sending my love from the other side
of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don’t look back
Every lover’s got a little dagger
in their hand
Love from the other side
of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don’t look back
Every lover’s got a little dagger
in their hand
Love, Sending my love
