If You Ever Come Around

about

Written in July 2013

lyrics

The earth is a dangerous place, but it seems there's nowhere else to go
The moon is just a fraction of what's causing the ocean to flow
The faraway laughter and glowing ballrooms are starting to crumble to dust
The tunnel we crawled through to hide from the law is slowly beginning to rust
If you ever come around and decide that you wanted to stay after all
I promise I'll be here
I swear that I won't move at all
In a thousand years, will it really matter? our names and the places we died
Even right now it's far too late to reverse all of the teardrops we've cried
But it seems that we are people and it seems that we are real
I guess it's not my fault since you lie and you steal
When the graveyards are empty and they keep us in clouds
People wish they remembered how to speak aloud
Will another version of me search the world through to find the second, inhuman version of you?
If I ever come around and decide that I wanted to stay after all
Will you promise you'll be here?
Will you swear that you won't move at all?
