What if I ride this to the edges Through the darkness to the light

We are hooking up with strangers we will never see again We are not a sentimental age

Waiting all day Just for my say For a bell to ring For the first sting

She got a job at a diner in the South Slope It's a nice place in its own way

Strangers in a dark room, laughing at jokes they didn't quite hear Frosted window panes and cheap champagne a face appears

Make our home Where we stand One suitcase And half a plan

He spoke in philosophical structure She spoke of a vineyard, she spoke of her lover

We are one beating heart

Do i ever cross your mind Through your window in the sky

Oooh Jason And if you can't escape it I hope you find whatever you've been looking for

Sunset skies, the paint is peeling, the wind blowing sand in her hair Endless days in the deep blue feeling I would follow her anywhere

My gravity spins off its axis Fever dream phantoms of your absence Fading frames to cold geometry (geometry)

We are one beating heart

He spoke of the truth and how it might save her And she spoke of the trees in Vermont in the winter

You went to school and got a serious degree Settled in your hometown To start your family

Walked away in the aftermath I've been thinking how things don't last I I've been dreaming of a heart of gold I've been dreaming mostly on my own

So what is left of paradise Out beyond it's edges Empty lights, sunset skies Over the empty hedges

We are one beating heart

And inch by inch we’re breaking apart As we’re rising through the dark From the sky I bet the lights look pretty

We grow up And move away The seasons pass but the monsters stay

Through the dangers of the rapids Through the darkness to the light

Thought I found a way back home And now I'm looking through it After all this time spent gone I think I just outgrew it

We are one beating heart

In this land-locked, In this land-locked heart with you

We were the rebels, lone survivors We were the cult of deep sea divers

Summer is so hot Winter is so cold On the F train to the South Slope

When you lose your wonder And you can't remember When we were living In the days of thunder

It's a highway Highway to the dark

But when it’s time to I will fight for you Cause you know you are are Why i’ve come so far

If the world is made out of love Then the pain is proof that it isn’t done

We are one beating heart

And we stole the car on the 4th of July I pawned my guitar and we drove through the night I’ve come to look for America too

I want to start again even if I’m on my knees If forever never comes Are we infinite enough Right here in this moment, as this moment passes us?

Have I doubt when I'm alone Love is a ring, the telephone

I wasn’t looking for forever or a one night stand I was just hoping for a smile or a quick slow dance

We are one beating heart

He comes alive in metropolis lights when the musics way too loud Deep in the night it's easy to hide and he's got it all figured out

When he does not understand You can hear bones breaking in his head When she does not understand

Is it about control Or are you just a restless soul Burned by some former king Some other small town scene

I'm trying but I can't find A way to let you know that I'm dying on the inside The feeling sets in in the silence

We are one beating heart

She's staring out the window of the Roosevelt Hotel Watching midtown empty out and I kiss her farewell

Sometimes she smiles He said reason is what separates man from the beasts And she kissed him and put him at ease

Up from the dirty black water A shadow void of form Raised itself out of the river And it climbed upon the shore

The problem with believers They’ll let anyone in the door

Some want forever instead of whenever when they're naked in the light It's a strange little potion but sometimes the motion almost makes you feel alive

We are one beating heart

There was a voice inside a dream Said Lift your head up Come up clean Into the static

Fire! Ticking like a time bomb Fire! Burning like napalm Fire! Waiting at the crossroads How will you survive?

So what is left of paradise Out beyond it's edges Empty lights, sunset skies Over the empty hedges
