lyrics

Misery loves company, so is this seat taken?
Or do you believe absence makes the heart grow fonder?
Oh, I fondly remember who you were,
As we stare absently towards the sky

Starlight drowns in skyscraper seas,
Sleepless nights sing to me,
To us, through the neon dust,
of what comfort used to be.

But blink and you'll miss me, don't try and look away,
Oh, step out of the dark.
Don't try to think to much, just sit with me and enjoy the fireworks,
It hurts, I know, but you're not alone,
Let me guide you home.

You have to understand, this is a world out of my hands,
Hands that stretch towards you the way they would if I were blind,
I refuse to let this end when I'm just getting started,
Stretching out towards you as if you were morning light.

Oh, there's nothing left to hide,
Oh, beneath the fire-flowers that set the world alight,
At night, it's alright, beneath these exploding skies,
We remember how it felt,
Back when we tried to split our lives like cells.

But blink and you'll miss me, don't try and look away,
Oh, step out of the dark.
Don't try to think to much, just sit with me and enjoy the fireworks,
It hurts, I know, but you're not alone,
Let me guide you home.

Let's go home.

The existence of the FOXP2 gene suggests that our human urge to communicate with one another is innate. FOXP2 is also a two-piece rock band from South Australia that explore their fascination with communication through music, a language in of itself. ... more
