Intro

Verse 1

2: (0:17)

 It was in your basement apartment

 with all of its earth and sea

 making love on the carpet

 under the light of the tv

 outside the sour moon minstrels

 shook their dark tambourines

 the morning came in sinister

 well window light menacing

Chorus 1

(0:53)

 with clouds up above

and clouds down below

 killing time but it won't stand still

 it won't stand still

Verse 3

4: (1:13)

 I told you never make a promise (Emily)

 A promise I can keep (Emily)

I thanked you for being honest (Jason)

 I told you, don't pull that shit on me (Emily)

 these are the hangover days (Jason)

 of frosted glass and metallic gleam (Jason)

 all these new non-places (Emily)

 they erase your memory (Emily)

Chorus 2

(1:50) (Both)

 we try so hard,

we try so hard

 we try so hard to love

 we try so hard to love

Verse 5

6: (2:29)

 It was underneath London bridge

 I finally realized what you mean

 meanwhile all of fashion's latest

 were nipping at the heels of history

 I tried to send you a postcard

 but all you could write were apologies (Emily)

 so out the Columbia hotel window

 I threw my heart into the street (Both)

Chorus 3

(3:05) (Both)

 with stars up above

and stars down below

 killing time but it won't stand still

 it won't stand still

Outro

(3:23) (Both)

 we try so hard,

we try so hard

 we try so hard to love
