Long is the day and you were there waiting like the night.
You were the night.
VERSE 1:
I was the day and you, you were the endless night.
You wear the darkest sky, you were the reason why
CHORUS:
And some things never die
(You aren't ever going to die)
You are the midnight sun, but not the only one tonight
And some things never die
(You aren't ever gonna die)
I'd love to see you soon
But you're the girl who saves the moon
I am the waves and you were there lighting up the sky
You run the night, oh
VERSE 2:
And in the way that you showed me how to feel
Divining what is real, I keep an even keel
BRIDGE 1:
You were the princess and I was a clown
We lost all our chances for normalcy now
Here comes the plot twist, a definite hole
And no one to fight to get back what they stole
From us both
BRIDGE 2:
Tracing this circle
Start it anew
Saving the city starts here with you
Tracing the circle
Start it anew
Saving the future means saving the moon
COUNTER BRIDGE:
Yin and yang, the sun and moon
You and me, you're gone too soon

Wasted Like A Saturday

VERSE 1:
Wasted like a Saturday
Like shouting at the mountain tops
Seconds slipping quick away
In buses, trains and little shops
Thinking of a better way (I can't recall the memory)
To building a legacy form this (but no one's gonna stop for me)
People let me down again (the traffic is the city's fence)
Crime scene dust and fingerprints (constant, slow and ever dense)
CHORUS 1:
Where do all the good ideas go? (We were young once)
Are they lost in days of limbo? (Look at us)
Is this all I'm ever to know? (What went wrong?)
In my life
VERSE 2:
Throwing ticker tape parades for days of mediocre goals
Boulevards and palisades with street lamps toting parasols
COUNTER VERSE:
Why do I bother with this life of who you know not what you do?
This cycle's getting older now
And I suppose that I am too
CHORUS 2:
Where do all the good ideas go? (We were young once)
Are they lost in days long ago? (Look at us)
Is this all I'm ever to know? (What went wrong?)
In my life
BRIDGE:
Fancy clothes and clever lines were never strong suites of mine
Teach me what to say to them but don't ever think that I'll fit in
Where to all the liars go now that honesty is just for show?
They come here

VERSE 1:
So from the very beginning I was on the back foot
I didn't know what had hit me til I took a good look
So now that I am just sitting feeling sorry for me
And all those thoughts you are thinking are just exactly
CHORUS 1:
What I am thinking too and it's all about you
What I need is the space to be me, rearranged
VERSE 2:
So at the very beginning we were on the wrong foot
I didn't know how to counter, didn't know what it took
And now that we are just sitting trying to figure this out
I'm starting to be more hopeful so I'm shelving these doubts
CHORUS 2:
What I am thinking now is that we are somehow
Opposites of the space of ourselves rearranged
What I am thinking now is that we are somehow
Opposites of ourselves
OUTRO:
In the end, second best is what you are, my friend
In the end, you're a friend with whom I will pretend
