The air is dead We're all back to being sad about it I'd forgotten the smell But I knew it then and I know it now Hot tub water Rubbing my hands together And we're gonna be sad Then we're gonna be happy again after ♪ When the sun hits You remember how orange everything gets When your teeth grit You're reminded that you know everything ends On a night walk Like the one that I took late last fall And I thought here I'd feel it But I don't at all ♪ Like a bike ride Past the lilacs in the May twilight When the world was ending Different ways and years, but still the same time And your favorite album's playing From a different time, it's waving And I'm reaching back and taking Whatever I can for saving ♪ It's a ruin of what I once felt It's a flash card for something else It's a wheel on your dad's first car It's a repeat when you're pulling a card It's a tunnel filled in again It's a puddle showing your reflection It's a dream, and you can wake up at night It's a photo of when you were nine It's your breath showing like a vision It's the water evaporating in sun It's the cycle of baby rabbits They don't learn from their own habits
