lyrics

there's no time to write the love songs
that pull me more than you to me
and since this town went underground
there's no more room for you and me
so just sit by for tragedy

(prechorus)
but the weather is warming the spirit guide's calling
i can't hide away how i'm feeling today
but she said don't get messed up
it's just an expression don't let it take you
and carry you

(chorus)
but i was thinking tonight
that maybe we'd try harder
i was thinking tonight
that you maybe you could care
and no i know it's not right
all the things i admit i hope for
but i was thinking tonight
that maybe once you could care

there's no point in giving reasons
cos what i've made you give away
the grass is green
and blinding me
you're starved for better things to see
and can't live on dependency

but the weather is warming and destiny's calling
i won't hide away how i'm feeling today
but she said don't get messed up
it's just an expression don't let it take you
and carry you away

(chorus)

(coda)
and i know
i know you've had enough
and i know
i know the timing's wrong
and i know
we said it from the start
and i know
we're not long for this world
