What About Us

We are searchlights

We can see in the dark

We are rockets

Pointed up at the stars

We are billions of beautiful hearts

And you sold us down the river too far

What about us?

What about all the times

You said you had the answers?

What about us?

What about all the broken happy ever afters?

What about us?

What about all the plans that ended in disaster?

What about love? What about trust?

What about us?

Sticks and stones, they may break these bones

But then I'll be ready

Are you ready?

It's the start of us, waking up come on

Are you ready?

I'll be ready

I don't want control, I want to let go

I'll be ready

Now it's time to let them know

What about us?

What about all the times

You said you had the answers?

So what about us?

What about all the broken happy ever afters?

What about us?

What about all the plans that ended in disaster?

Oh, what about love? What about trust?

What about us?

We are searchlights

We can see in the dark
