Sing about that whole love is a brittle madness
Sing about it and know my sadness
Not falsified to say that I found God
So inevitably, well, it still exists
Pale and fine, I can't dismiss
And I won't resist
And if I die, well, at least I tried
And we just lay awake and lost
In rust and the rain
And pummel over everything we say
We trust
Will it happen again?
I listened in through hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind
Rust and the rain endure
The rust and the rain so thin
Well, I mean like playing a game
Great, babe, I win
So go on and place your order now
'Cause summer the time is right around the clock
You can stand in line when it finally begins
Or just around the block
You can have your pick if your stomach is sick
Whether you eat or not
And it's just one thing and almost forgot
Oh, see you and me
We lay awake and lost
In rust and the rain
And pummel over everything we say
We trust
Will it happen again?
I listened in through hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind
The rivers unwind so easy
All these other colors of being
You see, well, I'm feeling lucky
Oh well, maybe that's just me
Will you be so proud of me?
Oh well, if you could only see
How we gonna grow up to be
Oh yes, we are thick as thieves
Da-da-ba, la-la-la
La-la, la-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Sing about that whole love is a brittle madness
Sing about it and know my sadness
Not falsified to say that I found God
So inevitably, well, it still exists
So pale and fine, I can't dismiss
And I won't resist
And if I die, well, at least I tried
And we just lay awake and lost
In rust and the rain
And pummel over everything we say
We trust
Will it happen again?
I listened in through hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind
Rust and the rain endure
The rust and the rain endure
I'm sure
Because I've been so far to know
The measure of love ain't lost
Love will never ever be
It's so far to know
The measure of love ain't lost
Love will never ever be
It's so far to know
The measure of love ain't lost
Love will never ever be lost on me
Oh, not tonight
See, love will never ever be lost on me
Love will never ever be lost on me
Love will not be
Love will never be lost on me
Love will not be lost on me
