Decline Of A Midwestern Civilization Lyrics
so i stayed the night hoping you and i would fix this shit, sorry can i get it right
but the lights are off, and i had my doubts she can't be gone
using photographs
we were over exposed when the shutter snapped
we're the best damn actors imitating our past (we won't last)
drowning in the midwest, so let the water fill your lungs
and make sure you do your best obtain oxygen to make them last
stories told, lives are sold, we can't hold everything i promised you
it was a long shot and i missed in the dark
come on, let's forget how to breathe
it's the only way we used to be
so i stayed the night hoping you and i would fix this shit, sorry can i get it right
but the lights are off, and i had my doubts she can't be gone
all this time we cross each others body lines
we were fighting on
what can i say? i was vulnerable at the way
(and your crazy) driving me crazy
what can i say? we were determined to make it out
(and your crazy) driving me crazy
stories told, lives are sold, we can't hold everything i promised you
everything i promised you
so come on, let's forget how to breathe
so i stayed the night hoping you and i would fix this shit, sorry can i get it right
but the lights are off, and i had my doubts she can't be gone
all this time we cross each others body lines
we were fighting on
but the lights are off, and i had my doubts she can't be gone
we were over exposed when the shutter snapped
we're the best damn actors imitating our past (we won't last)
drowning in the midwest, so let the water fill your lungs
and make sure you do your best obtain oxygen to make them last
stories told, lives are sold, we can't hold everything i promised you
it was a long shot and i missed in the dark
come on, let's forget how to breathe
it's the only way we used to be
but the lights are off, and i had my doubts she can't be gone
all this time we cross each others body lines
we were fighting on
what can i say? i was vulnerable at the way
(and your crazy) driving me crazy
what can i say? we were determined to make it out
(and your crazy) driving me crazy

i love this song
The last 2 lines of the song should be:
And all this time we cross each others body lines. (I'll show you one side.) (I'll show you one lie*) we were fighting on.
*or line; hard to tell which he's singing. Note: parentheses notes backup vocals. There are 2 because the vocals each come from a different side of the speakers, therefore sounding like 2 separate people or performances.
