We left a message for the masters
It was too lonely for us undercover
We found a coded sort of laughter
When told "Choose one side or the other"
Heartache won't show up on your face
Freed from the concept of a mother
We found a different kind of first base
Trade one secret for another
Oh when you hear the siren
You ask a question I can't answer
"How did we end up the martyrs? "
Don't ask what you don't wanna know

Oh, blinking sun
A symbol of what wе'd done
The tower wе had to climb
To get the answer we knew we'd find
It was no surprise

We gotta put some space behind us
Or else end up like the others
Shake on things that should define us
Love in a world without a summer
Oh, will you be my island?
Smooth the edge that divides us?
Choose romance over violence?
I can't make it alone
In spite of what I have shown

Hope from despair
In under twenty years
Don't say it can't be real
I've seen the reverse of that wheel
It spins and so we can't pretend
How small we've always been
Just a blink in space and time
Time
Time

Ooh, just past the city limits
I feel the flash of teeth I cannot see
Fear is our last mirror image
Our last turn of the wheel

It spins so nobody can pretend
How tiny we've always been
Only a flash in space and time
But no one can say we didn't try

Miles aways
I'm miles away
Miles aways
I'm miles away
