lyrics

lights out it's 3 am and i'm walking
at 120 bpm the clock's tocking
and i'm not sure if there's anyone listening

and the place that i once lived is a ghost town
the things that i can't forgive are all past now
but still i can't let go of anything

but we could build a house beside the lake
far from all of our mistakes
where we could sit out front and just watch the waves

they should give awards for being broken
an oscar for the words not spoken
i'd thank you all for almost tuning in

cause i was gonna write a song about travelling
an anthem for getting lost but i'm finding
that nothing's quite as good as staying in

come on let's build a house beside the lake
far from all of our mistakes
where we could sit out front and just watch the waves

and we'll dig for the moments of quiet
when the world is on fire
and everything falls around our heads
with the noise getting louder
at least we'll be proud of what we said
then we'll stand on the banks of the hudson
looking for nothing
with a city of emeralds at our feet
and we're running from nothing
we're just running to nothing
do it all for nothing
we do it all for nothing
