I tried to leave the city burning down
But I never thought you’d still be around
I'm sorry but I cannot stay
Its been so long now to hesitate
my bags are packed with my lips shut tight
I never could say what was wrong or right
but nothing should bleed from the start
so I'm keeping this so far from the heart
But if we rebuild they’ll all know our names
they would paint us in the sky with airplanes
but what’s high up in the sky keeps on falling down
faster and faster to the ground
so come all ye faithful
come stand and rest those knees
and keep your head up
keep your head up around me
cause I've been sinning just like everyone
only love the barrel of my own gun
but I could never shoot to kill
I just run, run, run
but if we rebuild they’ll all know our names
they would paint us in the sky with aeroplanes
but whats high up in the sky keeps on falling down
faster and faster to the ground
