[Verse 1]
Two hearts gone cold, some things don’t grow
Your hands in mine, like leaves in snow
Like sun and rain, we just can’t be
You’re what I want, not what I need
[Chorus]
So tell me how long can we live on like this?
You’re the smoke in my lungs and the scars on my skin, oh
All the air in this room, it’s been wearin’ down thin
It’s sad, but it’s true
‘Cause we’re beautiful but we just won’t make it through
Baby, you and I, we’re like flowers on the moon
[Verse 2]
We’ve tried so hard to make this work
Pretendin’ fire doesn’t burn
We could play fools, ignore the cracks
But darling, we dance on fragile glass
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
So tell me how long can we live on like this?
You’re the smoke in my lungs and the scars on my skin, oh
All the air in this room, it’s been wearin’ down thin
It’s sad, but it’s true
‘Cause we’re beautiful but we just won’t make it through
Baby, you and I, we’re like flowers on the moon
[Bridge]
(Oh, oh-oh) I can’t grow next to you
(Oh, oh-oh) Can’t breathe these toxic fumes
High over the clouds, we’re jumpin’ without a parachute
‘Cause if I fall, then you will fall too, ooh
[Chorus]
So tell me how long can we live on like this?
You’re the smoke in my lungs and the scars on my skin, oh
All the air in this room, it’s been wearin’ down thin
It’s sad, but it’s true
‘Cause we’re beautiful but we just won’t make it through
‘Cause we’re beautiful but we just won’t ever bloom
Baby, you and I, we’re like flowers on the moon
