Lyrics
In a room
Above the traffic lights
What are we doing here?
It doesn't feel that safe
You got away
Away from the numbing fights
But if they find us here:
Where are the fire escapes?
And I wouldn't let you fall
But the weight of our souls
Makes me wonder how much longer we can bear
Couldn't let you go
In the dark and the cold
Is there any other light that we can share?
Pretty soon we won't have anything
Soon all the money's gone
Let's hope the beauty stays
A capital history towering
Against the purple sky
Above the waterways
And I wouldn't let you fall
But the weight of our souls
Makes me wonder how much longer we can bear
Couldn't let you go
In the dark and the cold
Is there any other light that we can share?
And the car horns
And the fast lanes
Of the seashore
And the sound of shouts in the morning
And the silence and the soft shine of your hair
