Was it only fair

To keep you out my mind

I left it in the air

And if you're there can you hear it

But they won't find a trace of us

We'll be gone when the morning comes

The radios went out
E
The static hides our breaths
F#m7 D
Running towards the edge

And if you're there can you hear it

Fall away beneath the dust
