The Last Day We Ever Close Our Eyes

(album: Hurricane Season - 2011)

You and I did sprout like a planted love
So deep in the ground that it grows on forever
So that everyone can feel it
And then bugs will come to fill up on our sweet blood
To chew off the bark that shields us
But we'll keep on growing towards the sun

Nothing on this world could ever break us apart
All in heaven are going to cry when they can't figure out why
A fragile world with numbered days
Here in the sun we dance we sway
And when they finally kill the lights
You get the glass I'll pour the wine
On the last day that we ever close our eyes

Then what's it going to take away the bend that leads to a break
For centuries we burned at the stake
But they won't see our ashes falling anytime soon
No, I've seen through the end
I've seen your hand holding my hand
As we watch the clouds gather from every corner of the Earth
But we are smiling
And we know we have given this world everything that we can

And a cold north wind is gonna blow on that day
It's gonna bury us in snow that will never melt away
All the stars in the sky are going to flicker once and die
On the last day that we ever close our eyes

I said a cold north wind is gonna blow on that day
It's gonna bury us in snow that will never melt away
All the stars in the sky are going to flicker once and die
On the last day that we ever close our eyes
On the last day that we ever close our eyes
