I thought the sun rose in your eyes

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

I thought the sun rose in

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

I thought the sun rose in your eyes



The first time ever I saw your face, laid my eyes on you

Was the Bowery Ballroom stage, you were shredding Marshall tubes

And I knew that I had to get to know

You, why don't you pack your clothes?

Move to Brooklyn on your own

And join the band, come on the road



We talked for like two minutes

But I had a feeling

Something awkward but new between us

Something strong and appealing



And we both had girl- and boyfriends blowing us up SMS

But we both knew a mood like this so strong would be wrong to suppress

Felt like it bore the impress of destiny

In a minivan in New England, our eyes met

We said yes and we said yes



Love will burn out

Love will just fade away



First time I ever kissed your mouth, we both felt time stop

My heart, it leapt up, wow, jumped from a mountaintop

Then I knew: maybe I could be with you

Do the things that lovers do

Slightly domesticate the truth

And write you "Stillness Is the Move"



The ceilings that we ignored

The slept-on floors never ending

Our feeling obscured but pure

And our love ascending



This is how we saw the world, side by side from the road and the stage

So our lives were twined and curled and mixed up like the code we obeyed

And that was basically my dream and I dreamed it with you 'til we betrayed it



And love will burn out

And love will just fade away

And love's gonna rot

And love will just dissipate



Now we're going our separate ways

But we're still connected

You'll go forward and I'll stay the same

And that's how it breaks

Wash it away, wash it away

All of the pain, all of the pain and anger

It slips away, love slips away

But it will remain, it will remain unanswered



Now I'm listening to Kanye on the Taconic Parkway, riding fast

And you're out in Echo Park, blasting 2Pac, drinking a fifth for my ass

I'm just up in Hudson bored and destructive knowing that nothing lasts



'Cause love will burn out

And love will just fade away

Yeah love's gonna rot

And love will just dissipate

'Cause love will burn out

And love will just fade away

And love's gonna rot

And love will just dissipate
