Lyrics

Close your eyes real tight
Underneath the city lights
And you can't hear the noise below your room
Take a real deep breath
And get those feelings of your chest—
Work it out, and wake up in each other's arms

Underneath it's never over;
(Looking back over my shoulder)
Looking back over my shoulder—
(Underneath it's never over)
We always said that we would meet again
When we were ten years older

I hadn't thought about her in a while
Until she showed up in a dream I had lying listless in a bed
With a string of broken hearts hanging from her finger
I said, "let's take a drive with a pack of camel lights
Into the middle of nowhere
And talk about our lives

And here me say, "listen up" – silence –
"Can't let it go, got to get it out"
"Listen up" – silence –
"Can't let it go, got to get it out"
Chin up; chin up until it touches the moon
Sad and forsaken one, it's you i'm talking to

You can't take it back (no)
You can't take it back (no)
This bullshit I took it and crushed it and painted it black
I swallowed the match; it's burning up my insides

So
"Listen up" – silence –
"Can't let it go, got to get it out"
"Listen up" – silence –
"Can't let it go, got to get it out"
Chin up; chin up until it touches the moon
Sad and forsaken one, it's you i'm talking to

Close your eyes real tight
Underneath the city lights
And you can't hear the noise below your room
Take a real deep breath
And get those feelings off your chest—
Work it out and wake up in each other's arms

Underneath it's never over;
(Looking back over my shoulder)
Looking back over my shoulder—
(Underneath it's never over)
We always said that we would meet again when we were ten years older

"Listen up" – silence –
"Can't let it go, got to get it out"
"Listen up" – silence –
"Can't let it go, got to get it out"
"Listen up" – silence –
"Can't let it go, got to get it out"

Chin up; chin up until it touches the moon
Sad and forsaken one
Oh
It's you i'm talking to
