If All Else Fails

(专辑： Big Wreck 7.1 - 2021)

Well, that first dance in retrospect
Just two young lovers was taken as a slight or disrespect
They cased them from across the room
Their uniforms and unfiltered cigarettes were so in tune
While the rest of us would empathize
The rest of us could see behind their eyes
An escape, it would be wise

Miles away, a flair goes up
Hide and wait till it all blows up

Well, at first light they got away
By all accounts they left no trace the dogs found no trace
"Here, keep this baby tooth safe with the rings"
One keepsake, a picture of your face, your face
Oh, we found ourselves out at the edge
Of the fields and rolling hills I used to play
Oh, now they're scorched away

Miles away, a flair goes up
(Miles away, a flair goes up)
Hide and wait till it all blows up
(Hide and wait till it all blows up)

We're still in denial (we're still in denial)
How's it go if all else fails?
So far past the dial (so far past the dial)
Where do we go if all else fails?

Through the bar code made of oak and pine
Through the landscape laced with mines
They ran, they're still on the run today

Miles away, a flair goes up
(Miles away, a flair goes up)
Hide and wait till it all blows up
(Hide and wait till it all blows up)

We're still in denial (we're still in denial)
How's it go if all else fails?
So far past the dial (so far past the dial)
Where do we go if all else fails?
