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

And our love became a void Another echo in the noise I can’t erase What we became

Is it a trick of light or a dare to raise the curtain Or a cave to enter just to face your fears

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

We are one beating heart

Late at night had a sinking feeling That you were right sayin' I'm not seeing All the lies that I made myself believe That seemed to divide us

Could I find you there? Could I find you there? If I slipped away?

Should have known at the end of the summer I'd be lost without you

Through the wires to the heart Phantom fingers fumble in the dark I thought I did; I felt a spark

Hold me til I’m not lonely anymore It’s only the crashing of the ocean to the shore

When the long working day uptown is over All the subway lines wrap around the world

Even stars will pass away But not before they paint their flames Across the canvas, outer space Our love will leave a mark Against the dark

Your ship is sinking let me climb aboard Your ship is sinking let me climb aboard

And wonder if they'd notice If I slipped away

What was to be could have never been But if a heart can turn can it turn again? What was to be could have never been But if a heart can turn can it turn again?

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

The feeling sets in in the silence

We are one beating heart

You told the stories, but they fell through In a strange land where the stranger's you And all the masks that you used to wear Just to find out here nobody cares

All I wanted was the thick and thin Til the ship goes down at the bitter end All I wanted was the hallelu' to be loved by you

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

I know a neon odyssey awaits I know a neon odyssey awaits

We are one beating heart

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

Glowing windows in the buildings from the elevated train I see a thousand different stories pass And faces without names

The strong chords come undone Flesh may fade and strength may run but I keep swimming in the afterglow Now I'm swimming mostly on my own

Sun in my eyes and the gold coast shining And the girl with the braids in her hair

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

I tore down that picture There is no other perfect life But in the dirt under my fingers Maybe something will survive

We were the monsters and fire-breathers We were the quiet sunrise leavers

I wasn’t after forever Just for whatever I was one of the dark hearts

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

Empty out my bedroom Throw all that stuff away All I'm taking with me now is a blank slate 'Cause these days are too short To live a whole life through

I carry myself up the stairs and pull the covers closer Chasing the dream that I might find myself again

You'll always be a part of me You gave me a song to sing

I was yours and you were mine But Everything returns on time To the static

It’s out beyond the breakers It’s waiting for the takers on the edge of day The golden gleam before it fades away

In the morning’s quiet hush In the soft graze and the brush When the birds fly through the sky In the stars that shine in the night

Is there more beyond those plains? You cut your hair, changed your name Left a note as you escaped

There are those who will never learn Who build a fire and can't stay warm

I wasn’t looking for deliverance When you walked in from the wilderness

We are one beating heart

Is it a trick of light or a dare to raise the curtain Or a cave to enter just to face your fears

Seventeen, seventeen City dreams, city dreams

When a memory is a time machine Fly you on its wings from your history To what might yet be a reason to believe

Get a hold of the Nintendo Entertainment System.

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

Moved to the West Coast Just a dream and a busted phone Sunrise on the boardwalk alone Park bench at the pier

Is it a trick of light or a dare to raise the curtain Or a cave to enter just to face your fears
