It's all so bright
These blossoms on the
Pavement look so nice
It's sad to see them fall
But it's alright
I guess you got to go
Sometime

It's everyone
Thrown tendrils to the
Wind we reach for sun
No thought for what could
Be or damage done
Just to feel alive for once

Let's just sit a while and watch the cars go by
Maybe save the talking for another time
I just want to make it to a better day
I wonder where they go to make it all okay
Some consolation

Looking back
I wonder when the ties
Began to slack
You can't help the way
You grow and that's a fact
Been looking for the holes
But not the cracks
And so we sing
Raised voices to the sky
Echoing
Just waiting for the cops to
Stop this thing
The inevitable reckoning

Let's just sit a while and watch the cars go by
Maybe save the talking for another time
I just want to make it to a better day
I wonder where they go to make it all okay
Some consolation
Some consolation
Give me consolation
A little bit of consolation

And the girls are fine
And the guys are fine
And the love is real
As the faith is blind

And the bills are paid
With the payment due
And the blood is red
But the heart is blue
And the Mondays come
And the Fridays go
And you believe and hope
But you never know

And still every scar
Has a job to do
To warn you about me
And to warn me about you, about you

Let's just sit a while and watch the cars go by
Maybe save the talking for another time
I just want to make it to a better day
I wonder where they go to make it all okay
Some consolation
Some consolation
Give us consolation
A little bit of consolation
