Oh what a perfect night
There's no need for fear
This is the longest pause
Just like that it's already here
We wont be here again
Lets toast the last sunset
It's been gone for some time
Thick fog is setting in
Let's just focus on the stars
Wish that you could hold me tight
Wish I didn't have a clue
Aren't we the sacrifice
Of what we can't undo and
We won't be here again
There's no need for tears
Oh we brought it on ourselves
Just like that it's already here
One more burst of light and
We won't be here again.
Don't try to help me up off the floor
There on my shirt sleeve
It reads can't take it anymore
I've seen tomorrow
And the next day after that
And it seems lately
It's difficult to make it back
I've seen it all before
The way the chips all fall
In and out of favor and
Down on to the floor, down on to the floor
I can be tender
Tender as a wound
Hold it together
Until the suture comes unglued
Lately I'm listing
Listing side to side
Lately I'm listless
And falling further behind
I've seen it all before
The way the chips all fall
In and out of favor and
Down on to the floor, down on to the floor
Don't try to help me
Up off the floor
There on my shirt sleeve
It reads can't take it anymore
