I guess it’s easier where you are-
To stand in a place that you set for yourself.
Strip down your mind-
Forget about all the things you were told about
And let them all fall down.
She says, I might think about
The possibilities of you and me,
Together endlessly.

I said, How do you do it?
How do you hang?
How do you stand in a line back-to-back
Staring into the sun?
The first one gets burned
While the second ones alone in the shade.

Just force yourself
To look above the fact that the sky is coming down-
Nothing is coming down!
Look above your head, she says
The stars are out tonight!
My god, she says that every time.

I said, How do you do it?
How do you hang?
How do you stand in a line back-to-back
Staring into the sun?
The first one gets burned
While the second ones alone in the shade.

Fall down with me.
Come on darling,
Scrape your knees and burn.

I said, How do you do it?
How do you hang?
How do you stand in a line back-to-back
Staring into the sun?
The first one gets burned
While the second ones alone in the shade.

I said, How do you do it?
How do you hang?
How do you stand hand-in-hand
In a circle wishing you were the sun?
The first one gets burned
While second one learns,
No matter how you turn,
You cannot be alone in the shade.

I said, It’s You and Me in love
And I cannot be alone for too long
Cause I’m tired and sick of all of this.
