Lyrics

I scratched my name into the table
The knife and phone just fucking lay there
I orchestrate a day of routine elements
These letters are are so old and faded

And in the end we'll burn in history
I'll take a chance and fall in love tonight
I'm lost and found. so lost again
I wonder as I'm wandering
(I don't worry when I'm wandering)

I used to paint myself with sentiment
But all my colors turned to gray
I spent the night out on the wire again
But I wasn't looking for a savior..

And in the end we'll burn in history
I'll take a chance and fall in love tonight
I'm lost and found. so lost again
I wonder as I'm wandering
(I don't worry when I'm wandering)

Great lake - I don't need a great escape
Tonight. I've got this city on my side

And in the end we'll burn in history
I could fall in love with her tonight
I'm lost and found. so lost again
Nothing to do but keep on wandering

We can live with our mistakes
All my friends are going out tonight
And I can't sit here just waiting for another day to die..
Fuck all this ancient history
