It Never Seems to Last
in a moment buildings rise up
as they start to fall
it's in these seconds
that she swears you can't hear much at all
it never seems to last
in this warm wet rain
i come around again
and with this sense of rapture
i would only lose my head
it never seems to last
so put on sunday shoes
dance the breakdown
so put on sunday shoes
come on dance the breakdown
and here we find ourselves in motion
on and off again
so lose the dead weight darling
it's everything you've never been
it never seems to last
if i could get this close to open hands
like open flames
then i might find myself in
different faces, different names
it never seems to last
so put on sunday shoes
dance the breakdown
so put on sunday shoes
come on dance the breakdown
madeline
in pictures by the sea
it's always there
it's always wrong
laugh
but it'll get you
wait and see
