Lyrics

The forest burned to ash around my feet
The song was on repeat
While I was waiting for you
I take the long way through the garden gate
I am always running late
The only way is through
I know there is no other way around
We’re doing wheelies on sacred ground
But I am riding without you now
So you spend your time pretending
The decline has not begun
(You were holding it close to the vest
But somebody said it, somebody said it out loud)
As you wander through the tombstones
You’ll be checking every one
(You were falling in line with the rest
But thought better of it, thought better of it again)
I’m only trying to tell the truth
And I’ll quit if you insist
(Now the the air is electrified
But you can’t take it with you, can’t take anywhere else)
But whistling past the graveyard
Is denying it exists
(Don’t you know that I’m on your side
I just never said it, just never said it)
I make my way up through the cellar door
Minutes after the superstorm
What else could I do
It’s just a short walk to the afterglow
Over someone else you know
It’s always waiting for you
I shudder when you walk upon my grave
But I return the wave
Cause I am trying to find you too
So you spend your time pretending
The decline has not begun
(You were holding it close to the vest
But somebody said it, somebody said it out loud)
As you wander through the tombstones
You’ll be checking every one
(You were falling in line with the rest
But thought better of it, thought better of it again)
I’m only trying to tell the truth
And I’ll quit if you insist
(Now the the air is electrified
But you can’t take it with you, can’t take anywhere else)
But whistling past the graveyard
Is denying it exists
(Don’t you know that I’m on your side
I just never said it, just never said it)
You were holding it close to the vest
But somebody said it
Somebody said it out loud
(Will you be missed)
You were falling in line with the rest
But thought better of it
Thought better of it again
(Will you be missed)
Now the the air is electrified
But you can’t take it with you
Can’t take anywhere else
(Will you be missed)
Don’t you know that I’m on your side
I just never said it
Just never said it
