Our Little World (3:00)
You and I
Last survivors
Of a massacre of desires
In the shadow of the shells
Of our former selves
We go on
We'll go on
Not our choice
Just inertia
Leads us through
This sick perversion
Of the ruined future
We'll suture with good intentions
What could go wrong?
At the ends of
The world's longest loveseat
We'll take our seats
To be warmed
By the hope
We burn for heat
In our little world
This could last forever
Our little world
This could last forever
Our little world
We've been building
Wondrous towers
With starlit gilding
Or the dingiest
Backwater diner
By the side of the road
Where no one goes
Through the air or through wires
Tender words tend to set fires
That we couldn't explain or contain
Or snuff out if we tried
And we won't try
Dozing in a unified daydream
We dare not leave
Holding closer
Than can be believed
In our little world
This could last forever
Our little world
This could last forever
Our little world
This could last forever
Our little world
This could last forever
Our little world
Where've you gone, dear?
I'll keep it all as it was here
With a dreamer's serene certainty
You'll return to the home
That no one knows
Grasping for the words to sing
To bring you back to me
Dropping hints you'll follow joyously
To our little world
This could last forever
Our little world
This could last forever
Our little world
This could last forever
Our little world
This could last forever
You and I
