[Verse]
Well, there were days when you thought you would just go under
And the weekends that you never understood
When you flew from the bar only seventeen
You didn't bleed and no one ever thought you would

And there where straights and lines and every sort of option
To stay away from broken mirrors and your friends
But the summer was strung with some mighty thread
And no law would never wait around no bend

[Chorus]
Come see the hiding in rain, come see the stillness in all them ones
Come see the lovable strain of someone dying for all you know
Come see the strain of a reeling tribe
Come meet the criminals of this Napoleon ride

[Verse]
And there were nights when you thought we would just surrender
To the stories of the miracles of gulls
Oh, when you flew from your sheets where your hours gone
You never sleep and no one ever thought you would

[Chorus]
Come see the hiding in rain, come see the stillness in all them ones
Come see the lovable strain of someone dying for all you know
Come see the strain of a reeling tribe
Come meet the criminals of this Napoleon ride
[Verse]
And there are illusions and then just not even wanting
To walk around a shiny peak of snow
And what a picture that is to be saved for us
Now it's standing like it's just for us to know

[Chorus]
There was a time in my life when I was carried by all of you
Now I run like a man still don't know what I dive into
Come see the strain of a reeling tribe
Come meet the criminals of this Napoleon ride
