The Picture of Health
No more traces of life in this love
Helpless to resent time well wasted
Go back to the time when we loved one another in ways that were practically healthy
Hope despite the evidence lingering, telling us that our days were numbered
Lie down beside me, not far
We can make believe under the stars
There will probably be some uncomfortable moments if we're committed to this forever
And at every corner we turn
There's a cost to the habits we learned
Boring down into the underground, into the underground we will become
And now the "light"
We always thought we'd get much farther
I wanted you for years
I will love you until I die and then in whatever comes next, but we can't
Go back to the time when we loved one another in ways that were practically healthy
Hope despite the evidence lingering, telling us that our days were numbered
Young until the end
We were practically living
Hope until it went
When we were young and stupid
The halfhearted way that I loved you
Dishonestly clenching the status quo
Averting my eyes as the clock runs down
As it runs down
No more traces of life in this love
Helpless to resent time well wasted
I'm the only one I argue with now
I'm the only one I battle with now
Only ghosts, only ghosts
Go back to the time when we loved one another in ways that were practically healthy
Hope despite the evidence lingering, telling us that our days were numbered
Go back to the time when we loved one another in ways that were practically healthy
Hope despite the evidence lingering, telling us that our days were numbered
Young until the end
We were practically living
Hope until it went
Hope until it went
Helpless to resent time well wasted
Go back to the time when we loved one another in ways that were practically healthy
Hope despite the evidence lingering, telling us that our days were numbered
Lie down beside me, not far
We can make believe under the stars
There will probably be some uncomfortable moments if we're committed to this forever
And at every corner we turn
There's a cost to the habits we learned
Boring down into the underground, into the underground we will become
And now the "light"
We always thought we'd get much farther
I wanted you for years
I will love you until I die and then in whatever comes next, but we can't
Go back to the time when we loved one another in ways that were practically healthy
Hope despite the evidence lingering, telling us that our days were numbered
Young until the end
We were practically living
Hope until it went
When we were young and stupid
The halfhearted way that I loved you
Dishonestly clenching the status quo
Averting my eyes as the clock runs down
As it runs down
No more traces of life in this love
Helpless to resent time well wasted
I'm the only one I argue with now
I'm the only one I battle with now
Only ghosts, only ghosts
Go back to the time when we loved one another in ways that were practically healthy
Hope despite the evidence lingering, telling us that our days were numbered
Go back to the time when we loved one another in ways that were practically healthy
Hope despite the evidence lingering, telling us that our days were numbered
Young until the end
We were practically living
Hope until it went
Hope until it went
