But You

Tried to kill a dream
Almost killed you all the same
We're
Racing the sunset
Who can get there first
To the end of the night
To the end of the line
You brought me there
Countless times
You tow me under the waves
I say I hate it
But I like how it tastes
The salt and the steel
And you make it seem real

And you're singing along
To your favourite song
Looking at the girl
On the stage
Like you were looking at me
When I was in your mind's eye
I didn't need the stage
Didn't need anyone
But you

And I hear your voice
And its like a heartbreak each time
Because I remember how it
Sounded like in real life
And I don't want anything
Anymore
Doing what I did
Seems so old to me
What's the point anyway?

You tow me under the waves
I say I hate it
But I like how it tastes
The salt and the steel
And you make it seem real
And you're singing along
To your favourite song
Looking at the girl
On that stage
Like you were looking at me
When I was in your minds eye
I didn't need the stage
I didn't need anyone
But you

In Texas they're singing
In Europe they're playing
But out here in the north west
I'm all alone and I'm at my best
And you're not here anymore
You remember it like something to be cured
Of you were always searching for the cure
But you found me when you tired to get
Away from you

And you're singing along to your favourite song
Looking at the girl
On the stage
Like you were looking at me
When I was in your mind's eye
I didn't need the stage
Didn't need anyone
But you
