[Fatal]

Clocks s l o w down
    [ten minutes && counting]
until the BIG finale
of this "never-ending" story
        your hand in mine
shadows (too) close
  side|by|side && so in l♥ve
          [Just trying to miss the cr|ac|ks in the sidewalk]
      talks of sweet memories
      when this town was ours
      && we were just.too.damn.cool
  ((still foolish enough to say))
--------we'll
---------get
---------out
----------of
---------here.... someday...maybe...
Who knew
        this town would be our fate
        passing by the same old buildings
        bullshitting && wishing we were gone
Who knew
        it would come down to this
        minimum wage && a run-down apartment
        just barely making it by --- (but we were supposed to be famous)
                      But Darling,
as soon as you look in my eyes
I'm okay with this
these are the cards we were delt,
&& this is our fate
this .is. our life
.... we can still be famous
          tonight in front of the mirror

&& you step back to (smile: at me
fingers laced through mine
