Jumpcut, see what comes out to play
Waiting slowly, isolation creeping down the day
Truth faking, senses breaking, shaping form
I see a smile wish upon your face
Never knowing your sweet embrace
I heard you singing, wishing life weren't torn
'Cause I know you know we're so, and so
The day bleeds dry
The aperture of life
Becoming hard to find
And I know you know you've seen the jumpcut
Of our lives climb
(Oh)
Past life turned sour in a day or two
Minutes into hours watching over you
You seem so ready, but the steady pass of light
Transports the shot
(Shot, shot, shot)
Time stops, snapshot of a perfect day
Washed out, lowlight, perfect anyway
Your fleeting form is falling faster with every
Darkened, dreary lens that molds your thought
'Cause I know you know we're so, and so
The day bleeds dry
The aperture of life
Becoming hard to find
And I know you know you've seen the jumpcut
Of our lives climb
Climbing faster every night
Night has never been so bright
Bright with hints of all the flight
Despite of what's been so right
Writing stories of our life
Life that's fighting all that's right
Right across from you is where she stands
'Cause I know you know we're so, and so
The day bleeds dry
The aperture of life
Becoming hard to find
And I know you know you've seen the jumpcut
Of our lives climb
Climb
(Climb)
(Climb)
And I know you know you've seen the jumpcut
Of our lives climb
