How its all destroyed and built again

I knew that you
Could not believe me

But now you're here and it's different

        Bm
How the light shines in your eyes

   Bm
In every second or situ

                          C
It's then that I realized

         F#
That the world as we know it
The high speed train We'll pick it all up and start again [Chorus]

    Bm
The city did not collapse in a shudder

    Bm
The rain it never came

   Bm                   D        C
At least my confessions made you laugh

  Bm
I know it's a little crazed
[Pre-Chorus]
          F#
But these dreams
They seem so real to me [Chorus]

So this is where you trust me

And this where it begins

Your tear you let it in

Tyrel and his mechanical owl

A moth disguised as a leaf

Don't tell me what tomorrow brings
