The striking contrast of the tempest sky
A darkened backdrop behind center stage
Lit up like a fire & my figure's on standby
It's the worst time to think
"What's the point?" she says
"What's the point?" she says
"You'll never keep the secret"
"What's the point?" she said
"What's the point?" she said
"You'll never keep it"
Death doesn't just take someone
It misses somebody else, it misses somebody else
We'll go about our lying charade
As if all the days in the world are still to come
I've been waiting for this all my life
I just can't get the timing right
"Life has to end" I said
"But love doesn't" she said
"But love doesn't" she said
"What's the point?" she says
"What's the point?" she says
"You'll never keep the secret"
"What's the point?" she said
"What's the point?" she said
"You'll never keep it"
Death is found in the most unlikely of places
Like in the front page headlines, like in the curve of my spine
Love is found in the most unlikely of places
Like hanging from the Metra, like in the scope of a gun
Silence was her refuge & now her unspoken words
Will be my refuge as I drift through these hollow halls
In the course of one night our lives changed forever & for always
In the course of one night our lives changed forever & for always
"What's the point?" she says
"What's the point?" she says
"You'll never keep the secret"
"What's the point?" she said
"What's the point?" she said
"You couldn't keep it"
It's the thinking that got me here
It's the thinking that got me here
It's the thinking that got me here
It's the thinking that got me here
