when it ends

so nevermind

guess i'll just see myself out now

take my winter coat and hang it out

to dry

by my own bed

we'll never change

doesn't matter if we act our age

skip the funeral and walk away

and learn

from our mistakes

we're building on the back of machine gun fire

filling up the yard with our slip joint pliers

searching for a song that can soothe us

acting like we've nothin' to lose

until it all burns down

the golden state

was all we knew until it washed away

but we'll pretend that it'll be okay

and wave from the jet bridge

and when it ends

we'll be happy that we had the chance

to glimpse a life

to know that we exist

to take all we wanted

we're building on the back of machine gun fire

filling up the yard with our slip joint pliers

searching for a song that can soothe us

acting like we've nothin' to lose

until it all burns down

we're building on the back of machine gun fire

filling up the yard with our slip joint pliers

searching for a song that can soothe us

acting like we've nothin' to lose

until it all burns down
