the other side

I miss grey skies over brick hotels
Running wild or sitting silent with you
If we laugh, we laugh
Fill up our lungs with air

We were the bruised broken-hearted kids
Buying time in borrowed clothes
Don't need a reason for anything we do

It's a different kind of melancholy
A couple drinks at least to kill the lonely
But take your time
We're never growing old
You said

"Meet me on the other side
You and I have scars to hide
But we're too young
We don't know what
Is coming, coming, coming for us
But we have bent enough to break"

Now we go dancing
In the middle of a smoke-filled room
And I still hate the way my head speaks louder than I do
But these empty streets sing back to me
Just an echo of sore throat melodies
And 3 AM has never felt so much like home
Like home

Meet me on the other side
(Ahhh)
We can outrun the daylight
(Ahhh)
And we're still young
We don't know what
Is coming, coming, coming for us
But we have bent enough to break

I'd never tell you that I'm breaking down
Saying words like that would only make them truer somehow
We sit among the pretenders and wait for the fireworks
And every night a thousand lights across the river
Pull me closer and closer, so deep into the city
We're restless
But the stars will keep our secrets
Always just out of reach

Meet me on the other side
(Meet me on the other side)
You and I have scars to hide
(You and I have scars to hide)
And we're so young
(We're so young and we don't know)
We don't know what
Is coming, coming, coming for us
But we have bent enough to break
(We have bent to break)
We have bent enough to break
We have bent enough to break
