Nuclear Daydream Lyrics
You can hold your needle
You can point your gun
You can shoot and kill me
Or you could let me run
But I won't ever cry for you anymore
The days when I would die for you are now gone
If there's a plan then tell me
If you know who you are
A princess or a mummy
A flower or a scar
So I don't have to cry for you anymore
The days when I would die for you are now gone
Are now gone
What's it like to lose control
Are you even here at all
This is a nuclear daydream
It's my atomic bomb
I already lost my passage
I already lost our home
So I won't ever cry for you anymore
The days when I would die for you are now gone
There's only dreams and numbers
And wishes left unsaid
In all the burning letters
Underneath our bed
Saying I won't ever cry for you anymore
The days when I would die for you are now gone
Are now gone
Are now gone
Are now gone
You can point your gun
You can shoot and kill me
Or you could let me run
The days when I would die for you are now gone
If you know who you are
A princess or a mummy
A flower or a scar
The days when I would die for you are now gone
Are now gone
Are you even here at all
It's my atomic bomb
I already lost my passage
I already lost our home
The days when I would die for you are now gone
And wishes left unsaid
In all the burning letters
Underneath our bed
The days when I would die for you are now gone
Are now gone
Are now gone
Are now gone

This is a very poignant song about loss and, at the end of the day, the decision made to move on. Sometimes the best you can do is just to keep on walking away from the disaster behind you.
I agree tread77, this song is amazing and one of my favorites.
One of my favourites form Joseph Arthur, and I have a few! His lyrics here are just something else. I agree its about doing what best and doing your best to move on.
