lyrics

I woke up with my head pounding from that old familiar feeling
That I'd gone and waged a war against myself
A year of bad decisions broken hearts and lost friends
And no concern at all for my mental health
I thought I could escape the worthlessness and self doubt
And all the memories I have of you
But my heart still skips a beat every time your name is Mentioned
And all things we've put each other through

And this city is a cancer on us all
It can lift you up to the highest highs and fail to watch you fall
And we always said we'd burn it to the ground
Dance around the ashes of the place we once called
The only place we've ever known

You're the only thing that's made sense
Of this chaos built around me
And I can still remember the song that played when we were dancing
And we walked away in silence as the sunrise hit the skyline
Knowing the only thing that we knew to be true
That my life didn't start till I met you

You've always been a sucker for that picture perfect ended
but your self destruction seems to know no bound
one minute locked in my arms the next your gone for days
I'll search until I'm breathless praying you haven't found an early grave

And this city is a cancer on us all
It can lift you up to the highest highs and fail to watch you fall
And we always said we'd burn it to the ground
Dance around the ashes of the place we once called
The only place we've ever known

You're the only thing that's made sense
Of this chaos built around me
And I can still remember the song that played when we were dancing
And we walked away in silence as the sunrise hit the skyline
Knowing the only thing that we knew to be true
That my life didn't start till I met you

Well I walked around for hours trying to make sense of all this mess
but all I found were three new scars, the blood I bleed and drunkeness
All I know is failure we both know that is true
But my heart just doesn’t beat the same from the moment I’m without you
And the Melbourne cold will take our souls
But together we’ll be fine
Because nothing will ever stop this love
With your hand pressed up against mine
So I’ll take the leap if you will
I don’t care where we land
because you are the only reason I have to try.

You're the only thing that's made sense
Of this chaos built around me
And I can still remember the song that played when we were dancing
And we walked away in silence as the sunrise hit the skyline
Knowing the only thing that we knew to be true
That my life didn't start till I met you
