Talk of all how fast these weeks will go unkept And all the words we said wont be left to forget Hard to think these miles are so true Scream silently and smile on cue But she will paint faces in cardboard places And I walk amongst the ever setting sunset And she cries for angels in all the wrong spaces As I crawl to make a point for my regrets Walk the dock and slip to places no one sees Keep behind a piece of what is supposed to be Bend a page of all we used to keep Hard to give up chances on fake southern dreams But she will paint faces in cardboard places As I work amongst the ever living dead And her smile is contagious, ditzy and painless Giving hope to all the focus up ahead We slip into the vast uncertainty Walk amongst the dead to wait and see Speak against the grain and catch me in the rye Run around and save us from our lies

Cardboard Places
Talk of all how fast these weeks will go unkept And all the words we said wont be left to forget Hard to think these miles are so true Scream silently and smile on cue But she will paint faces in cardboard places And I walk amongst the ever setting sunset And she cries for angels in all the wrong spaces As I crawl to make a point for my regrets Walk the dock and slip to places no one sees Keep behind a piece of what is supposed to be Bend a page of all we used to keep Hard to give up chances on fake southern dreams But she will paint faces in cardboard places As I work amongst the ever living dead And her smile is contagious, ditzy and painless Giving hope to all the focus up ahead We slip into the vast uncertainty Walk amongst the dead to wait and see Speak against the grain and catch me in the rye Run around and save us from our lies
