lyrics
Where the train tracks
softly bend to find
those bright city lights
moving slowly
we built a fire
on a summer night
till the police came
and left us smiling
in the trench where all of us were stars
we dared to dream like we'd never done before
‘cause nothing could go wrong
Evelyn, it’s not enough
to tell yourself you’re giving up
You’d do it all again
you said you’d do it all again
well so would I
so would I
Refuse to speak the longing if it hurts
I dare you to move your lips although you know it will burn
like fire on a night that won’t return
that was the plan
softly bend to find
those bright city lights
moving slowly
we built a fire
on a summer night
till the police came
and left us smiling
in the trench where all of us were stars
we dared to dream like we'd never done before
‘cause nothing could go wrong
Evelyn, it’s not enough
to tell yourself you’re giving up
You’d do it all again
you said you’d do it all again
well so would I
so would I
Refuse to speak the longing if it hurts
I dare you to move your lips although you know it will burn
like fire on a night that won’t return
that was the plan
