Chin Up

Close your eyes real tight underneath the city lights.

You can't hear the noise below your room.

Take a real deep breath and get those feelings off your chest.

We'll work it out and wake up in each others' arms.

Underneath it's never over.

Looking back over my shoulder.

We always said that we would meet again when we were ten years older.

I hadn't thought about her in a while until she showed up in a dream I had lying listless in a bed

with a string of broken hearts hanging from her finger.

I said,

"Let's take a drive with a pack of camel lights into the middle of nowhere and talk about our lives."

And hear me say listen up,

Silence.

Can't let it go,

Got to get it out.

Listen up,

Silence.

Can't let it go,

Got to get it out.

Chin up,

chin up,

untill it touches the moon

Sad and forsaken one,

it's you I'm talking to.

You can't it back?

You can't take it back?

That's bullshit.

I took it and crushed it and painted it black.

I swallowed the match.

It's burning at my insides.

And hear me say listen up,

Silence.

Can't let it go,

Got to get it out.

Listen up,

Silence.

Can't let it go,

Got to get it out.

Chin up,

chin up,

untill it touches the moon

Sad and forsaken one,

it's you I'm talking to.

Close your eyes real tight underneath the city lights.

You can't hear the noise below your room.

Take a real deep breath and get those feelings off your chest.

Work it out and wake up in each others' arms.

Underneath it's never over.

Looking back over my shoulder.

We always said that we would meet again when we were ten years older.

And hear me say listen up,

Silence.

Can't let it go,

Got to get it out.

Listen up,

Silence.

Can't let it go,

Got to get it out.

Listen up,

Silence.

Can't let it go,

Got to get it out.

Listen up,

Silence.

Can't let it go,

Got to get it out.

Chin up until it touches the moon,

sad and foresaken one.

Oooooo tt's you I'm talking to.
