Climbing the Walls

Hold my hand
One last time before we land
And we'll both try to pretend
We never met

Such a shame
But it's a necessary pain
Or at least that's what we're saying
To forget

As if that that would make it any easier
As if I give a damn about necessity
I want everything that I can never have
And if that makes me bad
Then I am at my worst when when I'm around you

Turn around
Before the plane can kiss the ground
And explain to me just how
Something so good

Disappears
Out into the atmosphere
Just to meet up right back
In our neighborhood

Thinking back to when I saw you
In your good suit, taking pictures, showing teeth
Like you wore it just for me
I said, "I'm heading overseas,"
And you were looming over me
I couldn't even hesitate

I guess we're going through with this
We never could get over it
I'm just so scared to fall
Right back into it all
But I'll try climbing the walls

You'll be my hero in the mist
Hang from the ceiling steal a kiss
It doesn't get better than this
The garden walls and terraces

And if we make it in
We'll find the boring in the bliss
We'll wait until the sun sets
And try to climb the walls again
Climb the walls again
Climb the walls again
Climb the walls again
And again

Oh no
I think it like it here
It's so much nicer than back home
We could disappear
Living in a world alone

Forget it all, trust in the fall
Leave everything behind us
We've got no history
And that way you look at me

Could melt a heart to liquid gold
Our fingers over cobblestone
We wanna know what's on the other side
It's now or never, so we'll try finding

The parks and all the gardens
And the people with their other halves
That hold onto each other
When one steals all of the covers
In their houses with their spouses
And the rings to prove the vows they made
But we are not the same

We much prefer
Life on the outside under streetlights
Seeing stars and killing time by
Trading secrets, pushing cheeks back
To our ears and trouble breathing
I don't know where it goes
When the beauty leaves the rose

But here we are
Amongst the ivy
Away from rain
Thunder and lighting
I know it fades
I'm treading lightly

And when it dries, come out of hiding
Before it dies, it's worth the trying
Look in my eyes, we'll finish climbing
Climbing the walls
Climbing the walls
Climbing the walls
Climbing the walls

And all the staged stills and spring weddings
Couldn't beat the bruises that we're getting
There's so much joy in every fall
So we'll keep climbing the walls
Climbing the walls
Climbing the walls
Climbing the walls
Climbing the walls
Climbing the walls
Climbing the walls
