We used to be so animated
In stories of our youth
We'd hang out on the bench after dark
With open arms
And when we drank we dodged the bullets
Of loneliness and fear, out here

Singing out
Therefore we know, contort old soul
When you ask yourself what you've done
Staring at the dashboard of time

It's hard to reconstruct the picture
Of who we used to be
The pieces tend to disappear with every sleep
But as we dream we build our future
For all our kids to see and breathe

Singing out
Therefore we know, contort old soul

When you ask yourself what you've done
Staring at the calendar from day one
When you drive away from home
Head in hand

Therefore we know, contort old soul
Singing out
Therefore we know, contort old soul
Singing out
Therefore we know, contort old soul
Singing out
Therefore we know, contort old soul
Singing out
