[Verse 1]

We step down off the porch

And push through the screen door

An exchange of the keys

Though our eyes never meet


[Chorus]

You take the car, I can't make the drive

We've got a long way to go to pass through the night

You alone will have to make this work

Before we ramp off a turn and sail off the side of the road

Plummeting towards the earth, there's no fear left in our eyes

This is probably gonna hurt

We’ve been desensitizеd

You take the car I can't make thе drive

We’ve got a long way to go to pass through the night


[Verse 2]

Falling rocks will proceed

At the same rate of speed

They looked still in the air

Before all disappeared


[Verse 3]

You said you weren't surprised at all

That there was no one around to help us pass on

There was nothing more beyond the fog

Apart from the base of the cliff to help catch our fall


[Verse 4]

If I dive down how far will I get?

If I try now off a single breath?

If I run out how long do I get

Until you doubt that I can't help open my mouth?


[Bridge]

We were running out of reasons to stay

We're better off if you don’t ask me to wait

We were running out of reasons to stay

Concluding you were right the entire time


[Outro]

We step down off the porch

And pass through the screen door

An exchange of the keys

Though our eyes never meet
