lyrics
Still, time stood for me,
to show we needed sympathy.
I understand better from a distance,
we were only lost.
We were blue like the veins,
running rivers down your face.
We’ll carry on in civilization - the skyline in the night had never looked so real.
Strangers in a city dead for dreamers. Idling satellites, looking in.
Where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
Where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
Midnight wrapped around me,
I felt the coldest touch of absence fall upon these streets.
In shadows lie, we turn to face reflections to feel not so alone.
We never choose these battles, in isolation they’re never won.
to show we needed sympathy.
I understand better from a distance,
we were only lost.
We were blue like the veins,
running rivers down your face.
We’ll carry on in civilization - the skyline in the night had never looked so real.
Strangers in a city dead for dreamers. Idling satellites, looking in.
Where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
Where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
Midnight wrapped around me,
I felt the coldest touch of absence fall upon these streets.
In shadows lie, we turn to face reflections to feel not so alone.
We never choose these battles, in isolation they’re never won.

Just had to get this on vinyl although I've been listening to this album for a couple of years already.... now it can take it rightful place beside " Endless Summer!"🧔
