Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is a garden, this is a steeple
I hear the crowd before I ever see the people
Yours for the asking, and for the taking
There is a power in the vacuum we are making
[PreChorus]
You and I have a secret world
And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention to the cradle or the grave
[Chorus]
And when we're crossed
We can say that we're lost
In the middle of nowhere they can like it or not
And if we're wrong and we end up alone
We'll light a candle for their innocent bones
[Verse 2]
You and I have a secret world
And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention to the cradle or the grave
[Verse 3]
Someone's knocking at the door
Somebody really bad
Someone's knocking at the door
Somebody really bad
[PreChorus]
You and I have a secret world
And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention
[Chorus]
And when we're crossed
We say that we're lost
In the middle of nowhere they can like it or not
And if we're wrong and we end up alone
We'll light a candle for their innocent bones
[PreChorus]
You and I have a secret world
And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention
[Chorus]
And when we're crossed
We can say that we're lost
In the middle of nowhere they can like it or not
And if we're wrong and we end up alone
Oh, we'll light a candle for their innocent bones
And we're so crossed
We can say that we're lost
In the middle of nowhere they can like it or not
And if we're wrong and we end up alone
We'll light a candle for their innocent bones
