We used to write together, so unsure that nothing got done
Now that I’m older I’m sure there’s nothing to be done
But that’s alright, that’s ok, it doesn’t matter anymore anyway
I think I’m almost ready to exist without meaning anything

Now I’m back, and I can’t breathe—the dust in my lungs, the holes in my memory
Our lives used to be kept relatively clean
So when did this room get so dirty? Whatever happened to our teenage dreams?
Everything used to mean something

These days I think I know who I am, I wish I knew who I was going to be
I used to play Tales of Symphonia, and now I solemnly listen to symphonies
It’s a wild life, brought alive at night,
But now the drinks wipe 2 a.m. from my sight
I used to have dreams, they meant everything

And I wonder from time to time, are you happy?
And I wonder from time to time, am I happy?
And from time to time
I snap back to reality

The night before I cry out no more, and try to let my soul burn blue,
Sit around the fire til we get tired, fall asleep and wake up to
Blood red skies above, ashes on my arms, legs I can’t move, and a lying heart
No reception could warm
It feels like I haven’t moved in so long
But everything that matters to me
Matters in this world
I’m in the world aren’t I, my flag is still unfurled
But you’re not here anymore
And all I can do is look at this new tattoo—
Because you mattered to me, I hope I mattered to you

It all returns to nothing
It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down letting me down letting me down
We all end up in the same place
Watching the same shows
Living the same lives
We all come tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling
Down

It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down letting me down letting me down
I just keep letting me down letting me down letting me down
And I keep looking around
For you


As long as there’s fire
As long as there’s sun
I pray for rain on the day I die in the arms of the one I love
But why should I be so lucky
