Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Eyes make their peace in difficulties

With wounded lips and salted cheeks

And finally, we step to leave

To the departure lounge of disbelief

[Verse 2]

And I don't know where I'm going

But I know it's gonna be a long time

And I'll be leaving in the morning

Come the white wine, bitter sunlight

[Verse 3]

Wanna hear your beating heart tonight

Before the bleeding sun comes alive

I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight

And hear my beating heart one last time before daylight

[Verse 4]

In the canyon, underneath the trees

Behind the dark sky, you looked at me

I fell for you like autumn leaves

Never faded, evergreen

[Verse 5]

And I don't know where I'm going

But I know it's gonna be a long time

'Cause I'll be leaving in the morning

Come the white wine, bitter sunlight

[Verse 6]

Wanna hear your beating heart tonight

(Tonight, tonight, tonight)

Before the bleeding sun comes alive

(Alive, alive, alive)

I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight

And hear my beating heart one last time

[Verse 7]

I can't face this now, everything has changed

I just wanna be by your side

Here's hoping we collide

Here's hoping we collide

Here's hoping we collide

[Verse 8]

Wanna hear your beating heart tonight (Ah)

(Tonight, tonight, tonight)

Before the bleeding sun comes alive

(Alive, alive, alive)

I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight

And hear my beating heart one last time (Ah)

I wanna hear your beating heart tonight
