Lyrics
Say what you want to
Never cared much for talking
Watching the walls move
And all our secrets coming out
What's left between us?

You have the right to walk away
It's all right in your hands
But there's a dreamer that wants to believe that we're good enough

If we lie here
We made our bed
Stay forever
In the lion's den
But if we choose it
We could see the light again

If we die here
What'll they say?
Another young love
Gone to waste
We're in ruins
But oh, oh, babe
I know that we can make it out
I know we're gonna make it out
Say we're gonna make it out
Are we gonna make it out?

All of the rest go
Sitting back and losing
Cracks in the ceiling
And if you want to
I'll fall right in your hands
There's a dreamer that wants to believe that we're still enough

If we lie here
We made our bed
Stay forever
In the lion's den
But if we choose it
We could see the light again, oh

If we die here
What'll they say
Another young love
Gone to waste
We're in ruins
But oh, oh, babe
I know that we can make it out
I know we're gonna make it out
Say we're gonna make it out
Are we gonna make it out?

Mm, out, out, out, out, out
Out, out, out, out, out

(We can make it out) you and I, you and I
Were golden once
You and I, you and I
Were golden once
You and I, you and I
Were golden once
You and I, you and I
