[Verse]-
You soak up my stares like a cheap wine
I study your scars to find the fault lines
The beats of wild hearts are warning signs
We do backstrokes above a naval mine
American Spirits lead to French kisses
Shadow dances, and streetlight eclipses
We mistake dreams for shooting stars wishes
Intercepted by satellite dishes
Live for the now proudly with no care for what's next
Our heavy hearts loudly echo through our footsteps
With suicidal urge, we're on the final verge, of the balcony railing of your apartment complex
Lives in captured motion, manufactured explosions; we're already bored with the special effects
[Hook: Jake Russo]-
Pledge to last the night; we couldn't even if we try
In a wild finish, bottle rockets fly
[Verse]-
Life sentence in the California wilderness
Of lost theme parks and vacant lots
Tin can telephone talks in the stillness
Sound like the twisting of the noose knot
I hold your face like a spent wallet that always shakes loose in my pocket
You hold my face like void lockets with closed pendants as my eye sockets
When we're greeted by dawn from the roof of your car
Bodies will be strung out like secondhand guitars
The breath we shared will suffocate inside a bell jar
Your heart will pound, “I am,” instead of “we are.”
But our eyes still kindle from the same fire that fueled the stars
With no promise of tomorrow, we'll pretend that the future is ours
[Hook]
[Bridge]-
You say, “Love is never having to say sorry"
Words are wounded soldiers in inept armies
Emotions flood in the wake of televised tsunamis
Paper hearts are too flimsy to make origami
We waste every prayer
Three Hail Mary's, lips graze the Holy Grail
We exhaust love in the air
And vanish in a moment with the vapor trail
