It's getting darker earlier
Hasn't changed much since this time last year
And it's not any lighter in this house
Edison would've been out of ideas
And who are we to say how long
It'll go before it finally burns off
From fireworks to fading embers
We have been going at this whole thing sideways
We're getting faster at pointing out
All the last straws that break over our backs
And words stronger than iron tie me to you
But where is the shiny metal around my hand
And who are we to say how long
It'll go before it finally burns off
From fireworks to fading embers
We have been going at this whole thing sideways
And I can't decide
If I should try again or walk away this time
I'm getting tired of all the noise
Never been this out of sync and on the same page
And when they say forever, do they know
How a moment can last a lifetime in your eyes
Who are we to say how long
It'll go before it finally burns off
From fireworks to fading embers
We have been going at this whole thing sideways
Going at this whole thing sideways
Going at this whole thing sideways
