nonchalance is DEAD! (aka what listening to fob does to a man (aka songwriting is for losers and baby im in last place (aka the i-11's always clear when you're with me (sand in the hourglass))))

we race down freeways, music pounding in our veins

the red glow of the city pressing kisses to your face

and i'm tracing the reflection of the moon in your eyes

again and again so it can never leave my mind

i'm the orpheus to your eurydice (i can hardly take my eyes off thee)

can we stay like this for just a moment more?

and memories of the past are just sand in the hourglass

i'll never get the chance to feel this ever again, never again (no, never again!)

so darling, take my hand, and trust me (if you can)

we'll never get the chance to feel this ever again (no never again!)

when you glance over, honey, tell me how i bleed

your gaze cuts me open, exposing what's inside of me

so i'm cranking the volume, begging pleading that you don't hear

the beat beneath the floorboards of my chest as you draw near

can you hold my heart tight for just this night?

can we stay like this for just a moment more?

and memories of the past are just sand in the hourglass

i'll never get the chance to feel this ever again, never again (no, never again!)

so darling, take my hand, and trust me (if you can)

we'll never get the chance to feel this ever again (no never again!)

and when the statues that we built become buried in the sand

and when nothing beside remains, will you still come hold my hand?

and if i carve your face in stone, promise you won't leave me alone?

could we stay like this for just a moment more?

can we stay like this for just a moment more?

and memories of the past are just sand in the hourglass

i'll never get the chance to feel this ever again, never again (no, never again!)

so darling, take my hand, and trust me (if you can)

we'll never get the chance to feel this ever again (no never again!)

but these moments here with you are better than dream come true

even if i never get to feel this ever again, never again (no, never again!)

so darling, take my hand, and i'll trust you (if i can)

even if i never get to feel this ever again, never again (no, never again!!!)
