Decline Of A Midwestern Civilization

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're over exposed when the shutter snaps
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 ???
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
