Breakdown

Lyrics
So the sun fades and the lights break and the spark is blown away

A million miles from here to there and superman’s not anywhere

Were walking, but no talking, everything is hazy

Like we all are strangers and the cat took our tongues away

His lips were very still

Let the words out if you will

Cuz I’m running, I’m running out of time

You know there’s no stopping now

So we stepped up, and we checked in

Another bed I’m sleeping in
Sleeping in another bed, highlighting a transient and repetitive nature of experiences.
Another smoke-filled crowded room

Another mirror I look into

This feeling takes awhile

Laugh it off when you make me smile
