A Certain Cemetery

Pretty Girls Make Graves
(album: The New Romance)

What do you do when your angels
Have all flown away?
There´s an ache through my body
That just won´t go away

Here´s a picture that we took last fall
See there you haven´t aged at all
But you, have a smile I haven´t seen around
Lately you´re as dark as this town
And I know it seems like nothing changes
Days go by and we just age
Well, killing time can feel so right
In your bedroom without the lights
Let´s get old together
Make promises and lie but never
Let this city get the best of us
Grow apart from the things we love

Make a wish with a coin in a fountain
They pound the floor when they say we´re
Making too much noise in the apartment below
We´ve got no morning jobs to go to
Late night dreams and a whole lot of wishing
All the secrets that we´re not telling
Cities sometimes just blend together and it feels we´ve
Been away forever
We should really only have one care
To get back to the room that we both share

So whisper and tell me where I went wrong
Tell me why everything around you lost its shine
Why nothing glows
Tell me why you´re waiting, or what you´re waiting for
Never seen when opportunity is at your door
Let´s get out of this mess
No one will even know we left
No use on dwelling on the thing you´ll soon forget

When this is over, it´s alright
