Well Katy turned away, with a slow step back she falls into the night
And says there's nothing left to pray for
And there's nothing worth the fight
It just feels like we're empty until someone comes along
That we could paste in every picture and sing for in each song
If it's always going to be like this I'll quit believing now
If the memories from each turn we missed keep
Dragging us around in circles then I'd rather forget
She cried and hailed a taxi with her cigarette.
So we say goodbye
And I wonder why
We're always leaving so soon
Or why I chase the midnight sky
When I could be holding the moon
She said take me as I am or take the next train out of town
Take the memories we kept locked
Away cause darling this love is hurricane bound
And I want to ask her ain't it easier just face it,
Either my heart kept running faster
Or yours grew too strong to chase it
Now it all just fades away
And slowly I step back into the night
Cause if there's nothing real to stay for then there's no
Need for the light
And we remain two lost shadows in the dark
With a fear to ever frame our restless hearts.
So we say goodbye
And I wonder why
We're always leaving so soon
Or why I chase the midnight sky
When I could be holding the moon
We say goodbye
And then tear off wide eyed
All the way from the cradle to the tomb
Wondering why
We chase the midnight sky
When we could be holding the moon
When we could be holding the moon
