We Should Worry's Flagship Single

lyrics

She says that she can't take this world that's spinning 'round the sun well that's a lie
And lights exploding on her walls remind her that it's meaningless to die

I've played that song a thousand times and every one it makes me want to cry
'Cause every day's a century and still she's never been so much alive

And you're comin' back, you're comin'
Hold on, the engine's runnin'
You're comin' back, you're comin', oh,
To sing to ghosts you used to know

I'm hoping with some senseless lines to maybe tell a little bit of truth
Or at the least to paraphrase an old emotion so it sounds like new

I've seen it done a thousand times and every single one of them was you
You're not dead yet but here's some wings and rings and there's so many here for you

And you're comin' back, you're comin'
Hold on, the engine's runnin'
You're comin' back, you're comin oh,
To sing to ghosts you used to know

But words cannot replace the bricks when buildings fall and it's too hard to breathe
And no, she cannot fix the pinhole cut that's draining all she wants to be

I've seen her hold a thousand eyes from those who'd come from miles and miles to see
The only girl they'd ever love and what the truest feelings ought to be

And you're comin' back, you're comin'
Hold on, the engine's runnin'
You're comin' back, you're comin oh,
To sing to ghosts you used to know

And you're comin' back, you're comin'
She lives when you are humming
You're comin' back, you're comin', oh,
You've no idea how much you know
