Model house life meltdown
Still a modern dream let down
It kills me you know I'm dying out here
What would you trade the pain for?
I'm not sure

We were a hammer to the Statue of David
We were a painting you could never frame and
You were the sunshine
Of my lifetime
What would you trade the pain for?

This city always hangs a little bit lonely on me, loose
Like a kid playing
Pretend in his father's suit
I'd never go, I just want to be invited, oh
Got to give up
Get the feeling
Get the feeling
Don't fight it, fight it

Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand
Love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand

Generation sleep I'm falling in and out of love
I'm getting that tilted feeling out here
What would you trade the pain for?
I'm not sure

Nowhere left for us to go but heaven
Summer falling through our fingers again and
You were the sunshine of my lifetime
What would you trade the pain for?

They say we gotta get ahead, yeah
No matter what it takes
But there's no way off the hamster wheel
On this rat race
I'd never go, I just want to be invited, oh
Got to give up
Get the feeling
Get the feeling
Don't fight it, fight it

Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand
Love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand

I saw you in a bright clear field
Hurricane heat in my head
The kind of pain you feel to get good in the end
Good in the end
Inscribed like stone and faded by the rain:
“Give up what you love
Give up what you love before it does you in…”

Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand
Love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand
