No Happy Endings

I've come up for air

After years underground

Still got the taste

Of dirt in my mouth

Delicate, delicate as a skeleton

Holding a jar of flowers

And just like those flowers

I am wild and I'm blue

I've come back for the spring

And I've come back for you

But everything, everything changes

Maybe you have too

The world's a spinning time bomb

That there's no denying

There are no happy endings

But baby I'm trying

You've been wearing a watch

Since we last slept together

It chimes on the hour

This isn't forever

Still desperate times

Call for desperate pleasures

And I've never done anything

In half measure

The world's a spinning time bomb

Of that there's no denying

There are no happy endings

But baby I'm trying

Let's make love in the dark

The way old people do

Switch off our phones

And not watch the news

Let's look up from our devices

Long enough to hang a wish

Upon the moon

It couldn't come too soon

The world's a spinning time bomb

That there's no denying

There are no happy endings

There are no happy endings

There are no happy endings

But baby I'm trying
