Long Way Down

The sound of the streetlights, the smell of snow
The panic the trees cause when they grow
Healthy pollution and angry love
Convincing confusion for everyone

You walk like a poet, you sleep like a whore
Dress for confession, less is more
Impressive failure, a silent scream
Falling asleep from a boring dream

If it someday all makes sense
I'll be willing to relax
But if it's just its only chance
It's like a slow-motion crash and a long way down

I sit on the ceiling and look at the air
Ignoring the feeling that was never there
A tiny disaster involving the car
Got a bumper sticker on my heart

If it someday all makes sense
I'll be willing to relax
But if it's just its only chance
It's like a slow-motion crash and a long way down

Charming and deadly, both lost and found
Time is endless in this one-horse town
Answer machine, one-nineteen
The world is alive, but so are we

But if it someday all makes sense
I'll be willing to relax
But if it's just its only chance

But if it someday all makes sense
I'll be willing to relax
But if it someday all makes sense
I'll be willing to relax

But if it someday all makes sense
I'll be willing to relax
But if it someday all makes sense
It's like a slow-motion crash and a long way down
