lyrics

This is a complication of which I was not told
I was sure I would never grow up and never grow old
time is creeping up - it's creeping up behind me
do you have that feeling, babe, when you close you your eyes?

If I stood up
would you stand up
could we make it
would you go down with me darling
if I loved you
would you love me
could we take it
would you find out with me darling

go down with me darling(go down with me)

I never fought it when I should I always ran away
but now they've wounded those I love I guess I'm trying to say
That I don't wanna hang around and play a game of hide and seek

…
…
I don't wanna sail away and start a colony
I don't wanna be a pilgrim as my legacy
Let's track them down and call them up when they lay down at night
let's throw our drinks in their face and then let's start a fight
let's ring their doorbells and let's start a fire in their tree
and call them out and let them know that we are not afraid

you were a fallen angel and I was a runaway
we overstepped our bounds and we fell from grace
love is a cancellation of the debt we owe
let's just turn on all the lights and open all the doors
