Verse 1
They're all asleep
they'll never know
We'll escape through
your window
And they're onto us
But this time is ours
There are reasons
for what I did
It wasn't some vile attempt
or accomplishment
It was innocent you know
Refrain
La, ladada, lada, ladada
lada, ladada, lala
Verse 2
Nurse something
for the pain
Something to make
this guilt go away
You're forgetting us
You're forgetting everything
And I want to hate you
for my mistakes
I hate you for everything
This is goodbye
this is always
Interlude
Bbm-- x6
Chorus
We're covering up our tracks
And living in secrets
We can learn to love life
Or learn to love pain
And if you still hear my voice
Than give me a sign let me know
You're still here like it or not
Verse 3
But wait what do
we have here?
Who's that dress for?
Let's keep toasting
to innocence
And drown our regret
Let's have no recollection
of any of this
Don't wait up for me
Well I'll be taking
swings at a ghost
While you're laying
down playing
dead right in
front of me
(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge
My heart beat was
louder than
The sound of my
steps to your door
You're cold but
you're beautiful
You're a mess but
I like it that way
I'm a fool but only a
fool knows a miracle
And I won't ask
for anything
No I won't ask for
anything ever again
Just give me this one
thing that's all I ask
That's all I ask
Interlude

Verse 4
Don't wait up for me
Well I'll be taking
swings at a ghost
While you're laying
down playing
dead right in
front of me
