I keep losing heart, keep losing faith Keep losing sleep I scratched out my goodbye note where no one will read I watched the lights dim over town And counted all I feared to lose Flicker out in the midnight hour I met my Everest with you I always swore that you were wrong about me; my Everest I won’t fuck this up, I won’t fail like you Tonight I’ve dreamed all my dreams too small to lose Keep losing hope, keep losing friends Keep losing me There was a song that I wanted to live but now the words escape me The helping hands of a hopeless friend Sold me the key to this altered world I slammed the door, I didn’t make sound, and I watched the just sink to hell We found our desperate teenage love in All those vacant shut down lots With all our father’s factories boarded up What could we fucking do but take each chance that we got We’d jump the wires and keep out signs To pick the pockets of the dreams we left we behind We found our love; we’d fuck in the desperate midnight wrecks Oh riverside and Mersey don’t let me forget My Everest… you were wrong about me You won’t break my pride, you won’t steal my sight, and you won’t bury me tonight We’d jump the wires and keep out signs To sign our fucking names as the kids that no one wanted
