I got your letter, but the willingness wore out,

And then penmanship was beautiful at best.

Your words were honest, 

But the meanings raised a doubt

And the sorrow to the ground



Breathe in, breathe out

You're taking in the good, 

You're living with the bad

But the latter seems to be more

Than it ever has before



And in between the sorrow of self-infliction

And your blood cells are burning to break free

And I think I might let them go

A pretty vision to follow through



You know it's hot and we can't take it

It doesn't look like we would make it,

So let's just forget,

You know it's hot and we can't take it

It doesn't look like we would make it,

So let's just forget



You're hearing one thing, it's always the same,

But the trick is holding on

Remember that glare, 

The one before everything comes clear

And it's harder every day to think of what to say

But the trick is holding on

And the time is making everything seem hotter

And there's no use holding on



And every day is more like science fiction(?)

And the past comes into play

A life with less emotion



And I know we both let them go

A pretty vision to follow through



You know it's hot and we can't take it

It doesn't look like we would make it,

So let's just forget.

You know it's hot and we can't take it

It doesn't look like we would make it,

So let's just forget.
