The way dust settles on the floor, it gets contagious
We're 20 off to war and then the days are up
In the blink of a lifetime
Now wait up
I want to feel the sun rise on my face just one more time
I want to watch this city wake love
Let my brakes rust and roll through the night
Now my friends are gone, and while my minds still strong
And while my heart can pump for new love

It's a marathon
It's a bated breathe
When you hold my heart
It's a weight in my chest
Like a pile of coal
For the diamond ring
All the time that you stole
Worth everything
Carry me far away
Angel wings

Maybe life is like a screen and we're the movie
Shine a light, our scene into darkness
As people stare
What chance its written like its scripted, so romantic
Until it's time to leave and all the floors stick
Will you stay in your chair

For the marathon
For the bated breathe
For the girl and her heart
For the weight in your chest
Like a pile of coal
For a diamond ring
All the time that you stole
Worth everything

But this time it feels different
Yeah this time I won't look back
Oh this time I'll live it better
Yeah this time I won't lose track
In the silent white indifference
Of the mile signs long passed
And if time won't make it better
Then I'll rise up with my glass

And look around this place
If I can't find a face that know
Like vines grown over the old walls and chalk lines
Oh lord how the road calls tonight

Like a marathon
For the bated breathe
Till you hold my heart
It's a weight in my chest
Like a pile of coal
For the diamond ring
All the time that you stole
Worth everything

Oh carry me far away
Angel wings
