lyrics

it's a hole to fall into
it's a love you can't crawl out of
it's a dream you've had for years
despite your common sense and your smartest fears
but it's a chance you'd jump and die for
sell your soul
stand in the rain
put your wiser eyes to sleep
cut a path but forget the way home

am I allowed to miss you when we've never been close
the timing is wrong but it fits
the aesthetics of hope and this loneliness mingle and twist
but this tryst is built from the air
so builder and buyer beware
there's a million ways to fall
and a million holes to fall in out there

it's the drug of dreams that might come true
better days with a better you
and images that don't grow old like childhood and rock and roll
my hopefulness repaints the rules
with your charity and your art-of-cool
and pieces from the times we miss
when friends and even strangers could fit like home

am I allowed to miss you when we've never been close
the timing is wrong but it fits
the aesthetics of hope and this loneliness mingle and twist
but this tryst is built from the air
so builder and buyer beware
there's a million ways to fall
and a million holes to fall in out there

oh and it occurs to me that half the time it isn't about you
as all our industry burns this hope to concern
as the smoke we're making, it just lingers here
smells like romance, intimate language, and funny mirrors
and the mood is raging but it's quiet
it puts a hole in your gut and a spark in your eye

am I allowed to miss you when we've never been close
the timing is wrong but it fits
the aesthetics of hope and this loneliness mingle and twist
but this tryst is built from the air
so builder and buyer beware
there's a million ways to fall
