lyrics

If this is a mistake, it's better than the last one
I hear every sound you make and the silence after

If memories can change, let's write another chapter
No we can't erase, just find new distractions

We've been who we've been
We've been who we'll be
The only surprises left to see are what you'll draw out of me
We've lived and we've learned
Forgot in between
Wiping the set and setting clean, fading back into reality

Nothing that feels this good could ever be wrong

No words are coming to our rescue
But we've fled the scene before

I need what I want, wish I could want what I need
And we could be baptized in our sleep, and shake off the nightmares with the dreams
If we only live once, can double lives set us free?
Can I miss you, and have you, can I steal you, God damn you

Nothing that feels this good could be wrong
Right?
