Jason Vitelli - Last Rites Lyrics

Now we're reading these last rites only for the chance
That it's our own found love saving us from this last dance
Throwing it all away shouldn't be so hard
But it's our own found fears sinking us into the floorboards
Peeking out for only the reasons we had known before
And as life passes us by, we're hoping for more to hold on to
Rivals are communicating and keeping their tabs on our score

If I try to find you, could I be beside you
Running all around with my lights blown out in this crowded train?

Tripping over old ladies' suitcases, their hot coffee spills
And just one slip and I fall over with no dream left to hold onto
Now we're breathing and heaving in our lonely cell
Our moment passed us by and left us prone on the floor
It was a captivating, insane game but lost upon our own

If I try to find you, could I be beside you?
Jumping all around, kids screaming about, I climb to my rue

But I'm caught between cars with both doors locked
The wind's freezing my tears as I fear my time's already over
Save yourself, save yourself to be somebody new
Be somebody new
