Actually dying

Baby, we're the new romantics, the best people in life are free

Ten months sober, I must admit, just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it

There was nothing left to do. When the butterflies turned to dust they covered my whole room

Say it's been a long six months and you were too afraid to tell her what you want

Long drive, could end in burning flames or paradise

Like any real love, it's ever changing

The rest of the world was black and white, but we were in screaming color

I was fighting for you, now I fight about you

Heaven and hell were words to me

Things were all good yesterday and then the devil took your memory

Getting myself lost, I am so gone, so tell me the way home

And all my friends have come to find another place to let their hearts collide

I can hear your heart on the radio it beats, they played "Chasing Cars" and I thought of us

Tough girl in the fast lane, no time for love, no time for hate

And I can't help myself, all I wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?"

I feel the power, I want the power

Only close my eyes and you are here with me, a nameless face to think I see

I have been where you are before

I'm here to collect your hearts, it's the only reason that I sing
