lyrics

I hear the ringing as a clock strikes midnight
Down in the valley from our spot out on the hillside
I'm panning for gold. The city gleams like pyrite
Pulling you close and bullshitting 'bout the brightside
You know I wish this world could keep its hands off of our happiness
But in a world like this, baby, bliss just means ignorance

You know I'd offer all my passion, but
God knows, baby, I don't feel a damn thing
You know I'd ask you all my questions, but
God knows you'd just echo them back to me

Head on the window with your big, bold, blue eyes
Watching and waiting on a sliver of the sunrise
You know I love the way you smile when you mean it
You know I love that pretty line when you believe it
You give me all your love on your lips like absolution
You give me easy answers all dolled up like solutions

Look at you, your stupid, stumbling, bumbling passion
Your stupid, convoluted, little theory of everything
You find the pretty things. You find the poetry
You find your peace in all these things that I just can't believe
I just can't believe

Head on the window with your big, bold, blue eyes
Watching and waiting, always on the sunrise
You know I love the way you smile like you mean it
You know I love the line, but I just can't believe it
