Model house life melt
down still a modern dream
let down, it kills me you
know I'm dying out here
What would you
trade the pain for?
I'm not sure
we were a hammer
to the Statue of David
we were a painting
you could never frame
and
You were the
sunshine of my lifetime
What would you trade
the pain for?
This city always hangs
a little bit lonely on me
loose
Like a kid
playing pretend
in his father's suit
I'd never go
I just want to be invited
oh got to give up
get the feeling
get the feeling
don't fight it, fight it
Sending my love
from the other side
of the apocalypse
and I just about snapped
don't look back
Every lover's got
a little dagger
in their hand
love from the other side
of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
don't look back
every lover's got
a little dagger
in their hand
Generation sleep
I'm falling in and out
of love I'm getting that
tilted feeling out here
What would you
trade the pain for?
I'm not sure
nowhere left for us
to go but Heaven
the summer falling
through our fingers again
And you were the
sunshine of my lifetime
What would you
trade the pain for?
We're taught
we gotta get ahead yeah
no matter what it takes
But there's no way
off the hamster wheel
on this rat race
I'd never go
I just want to be invited
oh got to give up
get the feeling
get the feeling
Don't fight it, fight it
sending my love
from the other side
of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
don't look back
every lover's got a little
dagger in their hand
love from the other
side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
don't look back
every lover's got
a little dagger
in their hand
I saw you in a bright
clear field, hurricane heat
in my head, the kind
of pain you feel to get
good in the end
good in the end
Inscribed like stone
and faded by the rain
"Give up what you love
Give up what you love
before it does you in"
Sending my love
from the other side
of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
don't look back
every lover's got a little
dagger in their hand
love from the other
side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
don't look back
every lover's got a little
dagger in their hand
sending my love
Sending my love
