lyrics

Photograph the sunset; it’s the last you’ll see this time
Let’s toast our enemies and tell the stories of our lives
It’s time to plan our exit, make it out without a sound
The city’s left in ruins; we’ll make sure to burn it down

We’re dancing on the balconies with the city in our eyes
Garbage fires burning as we looked out into the night
There’s static on the TV screens so we’re just killing time
The songs we leave behind become the stories of our lives

Waiting out the winter; it’s the life you live this time
Let’s tell the stories of our lives
It’s time to plan our exit, make it out without a sound
The roads are filled with danger and not a thing can slow us down

We won’t be backing down tonight

We’re dancing on the balconies with the city in our eyes
Garbage fires burning as we looked out into the night
There’s static on the TV screens so we’re just killing time
The songs we leave behind become the stories of our lives

We are more than just survivors waiting on the dawn
And when our time has come we’ll know that we have lived it all
Out there on the streets we used to navigate the dark
But this is just our playground and this is just the start

We’re dancing on the balconies with the city in our hands
Garbage fires burning, this was everything we planned
Our lives are more than TV screens so we’re not wasting time
The songs we leave behind will be the stories of our lives
