Lyrics

Down at the curve in the old 1-9
There's been a crash that's obstructing the line
I'm gonna sing you a song that no sane man should be singing
But my ears won't stop ringing
Extraordinary love will save us from the skies above

Only on a day like this
Seal it with a hopeful kiss

Destined to take you down a righteous course
They won't let you know that they're taking it by force
Down in the depths of my heart, there is regret and remorse
But let's not beat a dead horse 'cause the past cannot be changed
History never rearranged

Only with a hopeful kiss
Will we see our way through this

When you wake up take a look around

Only with a hopeful kiss
Will we see our way through this

When you wake up take a look around
Watch the pillars crumble slowly to the ground
Watch them as they crumble slowly to the ground
