baby you were tellin stories that lit up the sky
about when you broke the TV screen for the people inside
i was feeling lonely, and you were so high
i just kept breathing you in to feel alive
and then we laid down
the most beautiful sound
you were the light that burned
i was a hero turned ordinary
baby i was feeling empty, so i made up my mind
that you were the only thing alive that was worth the time
then we found the bottle and we drank through the night
hoping the warmth would make our freezing feel alright
and then we laid down
the most beautiful sound
we swallowed our doubt
.....
you were the light that burned
i was a hero turned
you were so extraordinary
i was just helpless, singing
.....
