  • We won't get far
    Flying circles inside a jar
    'Cause the air we breathe
    Is thinning with the words that we speak

    That we speak
    You and me
    That we speak
    You and me

    You're on the floor
    Fearful of what's outside your door
    But the codes and keys
    (Codes and keys, codes and keys)
    They can protect you
    From the pangs of jealousy

    And when you scream
    Love you see
    Like a child
    Throwing stones at the sky
    When they fall back to earth
    As minor chords of major works
    Separate rooms of single life
    We are one
    We are alive

    We are alive
    We are alive
    We are alive
    We are alive Writer/s: Benjamin Gibbard
