Cue the sound of everything
Tune your trumpets... and sing!
Look around, for there must be some meaning (there must be!)
In the words you keep repeating
On the floor, in the cold night
Again, wide awake
Forever is a long time
To care or turn away?
Silence is the wind
that blows like hell
She calms me down when the wind's overblowing
When the tiles are heating up off the floor
Though it's been a while
and we're all tired and boring
Just a little light can be so reassuring
Oh I don't want to grow up!
Let's just stay here on this page, if it's alright...?
To let go of ourselves in our dreams,
to cancel plans,
and to be seen
"But don't forget to catch your breath, young tortoise,
You can't just go back to the chorus..."
She calms me down when the wind's overblowing
When the tiles are heating up off the floor
When it gets too loud
All the poets kept drowning
All the sirens singing forevermore
Oh darling, I've been hiding
Living out a lie in this shipwreck of a heart
Don't guard it down, don't stand in line
There's no need to be dark all the time
Just sing it loud but keep it light
All doubts laid even for another night
(Dance to your heart and let it shine through)
It's not horrible to keep it bright
(There's nothing to fear, oh it's true!)
