Why Would I Know Better

Can we talk about the sunny sky
As we look outside
The light starts burning up my eyes

Everybody's walking around and talking about
The numbness in our fingertips
Nothing quite compares to this

The smell of burning fuel looking down on me and you
Laying while we rest outside
The riverbeds cold, it's icy cold fire

The flames lick their lips, open wide and we fall in
Is this really it, the bombs drop as we give in
I wish we could dream again

I know it's for our own good
It's inevitable, that's what they said
Why would I know better than a billionaire on Mars
That's just what they told me and you
We knew the ending from the start

We watch the moon rise as we listen to goodbye
Pour another glass of wine
It's a celebration, of sorts

A warm embrace as we fall asleep in place
Nothing'll ever be the same
Not that we'll remember anyway, who will remember anyway

I know it's for our own good
It's inevitable, that's what they said
Why would I know better than a billionaire on Mars
That's just what they told me and you
We knew the ending from the start

And all this time we wasted
But we're not searching anymore
With all this hindsight engaging
I won't let go of this moment
And all these men on the news aren't there anymore
Cause the TV's aren't working
And it's okay, it's okay
