[Verse 1]It's been close to a year now, not that we’d ever countKeep it professional, wouldn't want people to talk... I mean, we barely talk as it is nowBlood on the streets of a city on fire with tourniquets keeping our hearts from our mindsHiding in sapphire ivory towers, but we won't return[Chorus]I’ll keep my name tag close to my chestJust promise me you won't forget where you areI'm swimming in circles or drowned in your light.. a man in a polaroidThe stars over mission street sparkle and shine to light up some future that never could beYour voice like a megaphone quietly burns, but it's the silence that gets to me[Verse 2]Now the ashes have cleared out, fondness comes from the fallI am a visitor, I wouldn't get chances to be a fresh coffee cup in the morningSmoke in your hair, regret on your face, little black tears in your little black laceCovered in irony you'll never know... don't watch it unfold[Chorus]I'll keep my name tag close to my chestJust promise me you won’t forget when we wereSwimming in circles or drowned in the night... drunk eyes in a polaroidThe stars over mission street crackle and fall to light up some people we never could beYour voice from the buzzer, I quietly turn, but it’s the silence that gets to me[Coda](It's the silence that gets to me)(It’s the silence that gets to me)Don't stay up, don't wait for meI'll come back, I always do eventuallyI curse at this city, I curse at the airport, I curse at the train lines that took me to youI scream out your name in the dead of the night like somehow you’d hear in the morningI pray or I dream or I turn off the lights or I lie down pretending to sleepI scream at the top of my lungs til I can't anymore but it's the silence that gets to meIt's the silence that gets to me
