I lived underground in a mechanical tint world
I was swimming circles and inside nothing ever hurt
I was all alone and it was fine
I was all alone and it was fine

I had so many daydreams I was never feeling sad
I lived all alone, but I owned everything I had
I was all alone and it was fine
I was all alone and it was fine

The day I cherished you, I searched the horizon for the key.

At first glance this sunset's appealing, just feel around and you'll soon find a new meaning.
Should I worry that the sky is on fire? And all the crazy people think they can fly.
All I've got you own, all you’ve got you stole, you can fit in or you can decide to be free

And when the sky is falling down on your best friend
And they're begging you to be afraid.
And where the ocean meets the tree lined avenues, we will stand again

And as the rain falls down, I will be around.

Before you go, know I'm not the same, because I can’t break your heart.
