ALKALINE TRIO
"If We Never Go Inside"
tried to pin it down one night
for some of us it changed our lives
a few of us never saw it coming
like the fire it disappeared
it happens at a wonderful age
with the traffic lights
it reminds me of change
I made up rules to follow for good
now I wonder where I fucked up
and some of us did
the night never ends if we never go inside
the moon is always full
your calender is always pinned on summertime
were you planning on staying forever
you know the feeling gets old
but don't you remember
hold your breath
walked out into the daylight
tried to pin it down one night
for some of us it saved our lives
a few of us never saw it coming
like the fire it disappeared
it happens at a wonderful age
with the traffic lights
and my key chains
I made up rules to follow for good
now I wonder where I fucked up
and some of us did
I'm just scared I may never say goodbye
I won't be around
to hold you down and pry open your ears
as we watch
is this why you worked so hard?
is this why you've run so far?
same place, same hello, same goodbye
helps you get through beat up insides
