[Verse 1]

Steps ascend to a loaded gun

The scent of matches hangs in the air

A lit one flickers out in a heartbeat

We don't want to see this

Flash of light that's letting go

An empty bullet case

By the time it hits the ground

[Chorus]

It's out of reach (let go, let go)

Out of reach (let go, let go)

Out of reach (let go, let go)

Out of reach (let go, let go)

(Out of reach)

The wolves are closing in

There's no room left to make amends, but

Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high?

All the time we've wasted

Spent fighting

It's blood

And it's running down the stairs

All the time we've wasted

Spent fighting

It's blood

And it's running down the stairs

[Verse 2]

Freeze the frame

Between the gunshot and the hole it makes

A spinning bullet hangs in the middle

There's no way to stop it

It will surely hit the mark

You can try to understand

But I'm giving up

Giving up

Giving up

The synapse fires, it's right in time

I'm giving up (Giving up)

Giving up (Giving up)

Giving up

This should always stay

[Chorus]

Out of reach (let go, let go)

Out of reach (let go, let go)

Out of reach (let go, let go)

Out of reach (let go, let go)

The wolves are closing in

There's no room left to make amends, but

Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high?

All the time we've wasted

Spent fighting

Will burn

In the fire of our regret

All the time we've wasted

Spent fighting

It's blood

And it's running down the stairs

[Outro]

I ran down the stairs

And into the garden

Put both my hands into the soil

In the spring

You will bloom

Like her heart

Through the blouse

In the back of the ambulance

As it turned and it turned down the street (Out of reach)

One more turn, won't you come back to me? (Out of reach)

As it turned its red lights

You were turning into

Red roses

Red roses

Red roses

Red roses

I'm not giving up
