And we can run from the backdrop Of these gears and scalpels At every hour goes The tick-tock bang of monitors as They stared us down When we met in the emergency room And in our beds I could hear you breathe With help from cold machines
Every hour on the hour They drew blood
Well I felt I couldn't take Another day inside this place, From silent dreams we never wake And in this promise that we'll make Starless eyes for heaven's sake, But I hear you anyway Well I thought I heard you Say I like you, we can get out We don't have to stay, Stay inside this place
Someday, this day we kept falling down Someday, this day set The Ferris wheel ablaze You left my heart an open wound, And I love you for This day, someday we kept falling down One day, this day all we had To keep us safe, And if we never sleep again, It would never end, Well I thought I heard you say to me We'll go so far, far as we can And I just can't stay, One day we'll run away
