The Wallflowers - We're Already There lyrics

A quarter moon on a city growing thick With good advice that won't stick From the ballrooms to the suburbs and the abandoned mines Atlantis may be rising but we're all outta time The colored lights on the fire escape An' bodies move behind drapes And the light is uneven and we're safer in pairs We're no match for what is waiting for each of us out there Whistle baby while we walk Now don't say anything Do not talk The journey, is over It is time to exhale Wherever we were going We're already there It's over the turnstiles Through the guardrails And into Washington Square 'Cause no amount of nightmares could ever compare To the thought of only silence in this ghost-filled air Whistle baby, while we walk Now don't say anything Do not talk The journey, is over It's too late to prepare Why can't you see that baby We're already there Here comes your silhouette and more pillow talk Here comes the ticking of these clocks They say the quickest way to end a war is just to lose Another chamber locks and I already withdrew Here comes the booming in the hunger of each night Here comes the burden of might Now this day was not divinely made to leave you impressed We may become someone someday but we haven't yet Whistle baby while we walk Now Don't say anything, do not talk The journey is over, it is time to repair Whatever we were building Baby we're already there We're already there We're already there We're already there
