Shoots of green creeping up above the winter's casualties
Emblems of the force, that through the green fuse
Drives the flowers to sing
We get richer everyday by staying here, alright?
The melodies that cue the needs will pollinate with their refrain
Today we're believers
Today we're believers
Today we're believers
Today we're believers
Come along to the river, swollen up
The bridge has flooded again and spring is heaving
See the little bird with a heavy wing
Fly dead into the wind, still believing
We hit the streets like fugitives
Getting lucky in the park where your daddy lives
Holding your hand just like a teenager
From the cul-de-sac to the boulevard
You'll be pushing on the pedals 'til you stop
Hard as you try you'll never be a stranger
Today we're believers
Today we're believers
Today we're believers
Today we're believers
We're not leaving until
At last a flower pushes up above the tiny garden
Open petals are filling bright with colour
As they wait to catch the collar of the wind returning
And then again a flower pushes up above the tiny garden
Open petals are filling bright with colour
As they wait to catch the collar of the wind returning

I'm living a lie
It's getting harder to tell
I've tried and I've tried to wake up
But I'm sleeping for two
And I'm growing so tired of it
I should be looking for something new
But all that I want is
You, You, You, You
All that I want is
You, You, You, You
All that I want is you
You threw a crown at my feet
And I scrambled to the floor
You arose from your seat and I looked up
You called out my name
So I came crawling on back with it
Now I knew what I was here to do
But all that I want is
You, You, You, You
All that I want is
You, You, You, You
All that I want is you
Maybe I could stand steady as a stone
Maybe I could make it all on my own
Oh I, I'm seeing you
Hold my, my hand when you want to
And I can't let go of you
No, I just can't help asking myself why I'm trying to
You, You, You, You
All that I want is
You, You, You, You
All that I want is you

Up in my room, working it out
Trying not to make a sound
Chasing another arrow of light
It's always the same somehow
Flat on my back, afraid to admit
That I'm getting older now
It's calling you out, calling you out
Calling you out at night
Shaking in the cold oh so gallantly
The advantage of withholding your honesty
Most of my friends got the fuck out
In the exodus of the year
It's just me and you in dim winter light
Straining ourselves to hear
Those three stupid words, I haven't said
While calling you out at night
Shaking in the cold oh so gallantly
The advantage of withholding your honesty
Shaking in the cold oh so gallantly
The advantage of withholding your honesty

Don't be afraid
Don't fall asleep
Don't touch yourself
Don't talk, don't eat
Don't go insane
Don't stay alone
Don't show your pain
Don't smash your phone
Don't ever ask why
Don't give another fuck
Don't check your car
Stop pushing your luck
Don't cherish your space
Don't hold her too tight
Don't think of their face all through the night
But love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream, they could never, never, never, never take it
I close my eyes
I ask for more
I get in line
I lock the door
I take a stand
I cut my hair
I wave my hands
I just don't care
I'm telling myself
I'm doing enough
I scribble my name
But I'm sick of this bluff
I've cluttered my brain
I've stared at the light
I'm sweating this shame all through the night
But love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream, they could never, never, never, never take it
But love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream, they could never, never, never, never
But love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream and they could never shake you awake
Love is a dream, they could never, never, never, never take it

I never thought I'd have another day to kill
But once their eyes were open, they could see me tire
Was on a six-day binge, I had the world to fill
I'll rest my crown before the garden catches fire
Let's wash what's left in the river
Let's wash what's left in the river
Let's wash what's left in the river
Let's wash what's left in the river
I should've kept my cool when I found 'em stacking stones
But their lonely little tower set my blood on fire
I tied up every tongue and left them there alone
If only just my glory could've pushed them higher
Let's wash what's left in the river
Let's wash what's left in the river
Let's wash what's left in the river
Let's wash what's left in the river
Swollen wave, watch it ride
(Let's wash what's left in the river)
Into the clouded sky
(Let's wash what's left in the river)
Throw your little hands around it
(Let's wash what's left in the river)
Bless the breath you're holding
