All We Thought We Could - This Day & Age

Aren’t we so good at holding on to the past?

If we weren’t speeding, I’m sure we wouldn’t have crashed.

Under the influence of our shallow lust;

I know we should be careful but that won’t happen to us.

Love is a second, third, fourth and fifth shot.

God knows I need it;

God knows you haven’t forgot.

It’s easier to look down than to look straight in the eye.

I’ll only say this once because I know it’s going to make you cry.

Oh and you are too much like a drug to me.

No longer what I want, just what I think I need.

Why would I leave when I could waste away with you?

Less concerned with what I’ll find than what I could lose.

But you say «Can't you give us one more try?

We’re in a knot that I can’t let you untie»

It’s easier to look down than to look you straight in the eye.

I’ll only say this once because I know it’s going to make you cry.

There is a reason I feel lost when I’m not with you.

It’s not because of love;

it’s just that you are what I’ve gotten used to.

If we don’t leave now, we never will (say goodbye).

Turn your back one last time on me.
