It's safe to say we've always been actors
From time to time
I think of what everything would be like
If we made one good scene
Apathetic time turns us into awkward passing nerves
Where nothing is ever beautiful
And everything hurts

Because I loved you first
And we never sang those sad songs together

Our bodies they break down
Our honesty is breaking my heart
Whenever we're close neither one of us will change
Because I'm chained to the past with the future in my veins

"There is a car in the driveway
Just drive." she said
"There is a train downtown
We could hop right on and get out of here."
We've been running away from things we can't control
We can never settle down
We're always scared
Our hearts won't stop beating
But we've just got to stick this out
Until we reach level ground
Until the terrain gets easier
And then only there can we rest our lonely hearts
Let's rest our lonely hearts

Because I loved you first
And we never sang those sad songs together
