Verse 1

They're all asleep

they'll never know

We'll escape through

your window

And they're onto us

But this time is ours

There are reasons

for what I did

It wasn't some vile attempt

or accomplishment

It was innocent you know

Refrain

La, ladada, lada, ladada

lada, ladada, lala

Verse 2

Nurse something

for the pain

Something to make

this guilt go away

You're forgetting us

You're forgetting everything

And I want to hate you

for my mistakes

I hate you for everything

This is goodbye

this is always

Interlude

Bbm-- x6

Chorus

We're covering up our tracks

And living in secrets

We can learn to love life

Or learn to love pain

And if you still hear my voice

Than give me a sign let me know

You're still here like it or not

Verse 3

But wait what do

we have here?

Who's that dress for?

Let's keep toasting

to innocence

And drown our regret

Let's have no recollection

of any of this

Don't wait up for me

Well I'll be taking

swings at a ghost

While you're laying

down playing

dead right in

front of me

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

My heart beat was

louder than

The sound of my

steps to your door

You're cold but

you're beautiful

You're a mess but

I like it that way

I'm a fool but only a

fool knows a miracle

And I won't ask

for anything

No I won't ask for

anything ever again

Just give me this one

thing that's all I ask

That's all I ask

Interlude

Bbm--F/A-- x2

Verse 4

Don't wait up for me

Well I'll be taking

swings at a ghost

While you're laying

down playing

dead right in

front of me
