back and fourth in this game stamped forever
back and fourth between tears and Decembers
back and fourth with you and her and me
back and fourth maybe someday we'll both see
that life is a snow storm, planned to mess up
it wants you to get stuck and find a way out
it forces you to use your body heat to stay warm and together
and it pushed you apart with its horrible weather
across the slate streets where beautiful people meet
kissing hello and goodbye, their breath glowing as they sigh
fighting with frozen fists, they cant take a compliment
under the weather or under the influence
can you even tell the difference
racing toward the finish line
doesn't she look divine
in her red coat or in her red blood
its all a blur between what is and what was
unmeant screams screaming unmeant words
the boys and girls around here they never learn
they want to show the black from gold
they want to break away from all the lies they were told
they want to believe in the summertime as much as they want to love
but the winter lasts forever and the fighters never rise above
the pretty people party as the petty people shout
and the parties never over until nothings left to talk about
dancing in the streetlight dancing all alone
dancing in a dark room together the music proves the tone
legs entangled in each others
girls and boys screaming for their long lost lovers
dripping sweat and screaming loud
oh boys do those girls yeah they feel so proud
they talk on their cell phones so secretly
if you even ever wonder, im sorry you must let them be
they are lovers and their liars
with hearts as rich as gold
they never ever tell the truth
and it never ever gets old
when someone goes down they all rise up
forever's something they think they will acquire
because forever is what they were told
would bring them to the top when they are too far down to see
the beauty underneath
the storm we call you and me
with the voice of a sinner and the look of a fighter
you are what perfect is and will be
with your burning eyes that tell your lover lies
you, you are perfect to me
