Turns out this was the last day we could see
I'm in need of some mortal strategy
Gonna sit out on this crumbling balcony
And stare towards the waves
We could walk yet another hundred miles
Just to find another one of those unforced smiles
That would make it thoroughly worthwhile
To find the hope
They've been teaching us to want
So that time is always lost
We've been learning how to find it
And not caring about the cost
All the stable introverts
With the brains that smell the dirt
Writing songs that like to flirt with all the haters
They've been teaching us to want
So that time is always lost
We've been learning how to find it
And not caring about the cost
We could give it all away
If it showed the way to love
We know a day ain't wasted
We might have lost the summer
But at least we found ourselves
