lyrics

Goodnight then
This time we take the baguettes, and
Break towards the promise of everything new
That we said we would do
If we had second chances
You’d probably go dancing
But I am
I am still waiting through silence
That deafening din of the things you won’t say to me
The sins that you’ll never set free
From your memory

Set it alight
Burn all control
Stay through the night And carry me home
It keeps us alive
But it cuts to the bone
You tell me you’re right I tell you I know

Goodnight then
This time we’re after most everything
To keep us distracted for hours on end
And I still remember
The first thing you said on the first day we met
You know, I guess
I am still reaching for anything
To keep me from feeling that way again
The failure, the fears
It’s been 35 years of it

Set it alight
Burn all control
Just stay here tonight
Just please don’t go home
You tell me I’m right
I know that I’m wrong
But it keeps me alive
And it drags you along

Show me a sign
That we can move on
Cause I need to find it before it’s all gone
You tell me “goodnight”
I tell you “hold on”

Because darling tonight we’re
Tonight we are waiting for something
To help us reclaim our whole lives again
This time we’re gonna take everything
This time I’m ready to try again
Tonight we are waiting for anything
Tonight we are playing our final hand
This time we’re gonna take everything

(This time I’m ready to try)
Set it alight
Burn all control
Stay through the night
And carry me home
(This time I’m ready to try)
It keeps us alive
But it cuts to the bone
You tell me you’re right
I tell you I know

Goodnight then
This time we’re waiting for something
This time we’re ready to try again
This time we’re gonna take everything
