lyrics

Verse

As all our bridges burned
Kind of my mind to not return, I'll learn
Some things are better painted black, in fact
You've got to find your own way back

Chorus

You used to know a long time ago
(there was more to this life)
It sways to and fro
(what a wonderful sight)
But when the sky was painted black
You could not find your own way back
And you were thankful

Verse

New life on the floor
A broken light reveals the nose bleeds come once more
Emaciated in a world of my dreaming
Not much that's left when you're in love with a feeling
I'm dreaming

Break

Hang me out to dry
(you said it's time to look over the edge, instead
I'm falling on my own)
(you said it's time to look over the edge, instead
your waving as I drown)

Outro

You said we took our time to get ahead
You said we'd never be apart
You said we'd paint this whole town red

So hang me out to dry
