what do you do when your angels

have all flown away?

there's an ache through my body

that just won't go away



here's a picture that we took last fall

see there you haven't aged at all

but you, have a smile i haven't seen around

lately you're as dark as this town

and i know it seems like nothing changes

days go by and we just age

well, killing time can feel so right

in your bedroom without the lights

let's get old together

make promises and lie but never

let this city get the best of us

grow apart from the things we love



make a wish with a coin in a fountain

they pound the floor when they say we're

making too much noise in the apartment below

we've got no morning jobs to go to

late night dreams and a whole lot of wishing

all the secrets that we're not telling

cities sometimes blend together and it feels we've

been away forever

we should really only have one care

to get back to the room that we both share



so whisper and tell me where i went wrong

tell me why everything around you lost its shine

why nothing glows

tell me why you're waiting, or what you're waiting for

never see when opportunity is at your door

let's get out of this mess

no one will even know we left

no use in dwelling on the things you'll soon forget



when this is over, it's alright
