Lyrics
Break into the day It was touch and go for me Because time alone was never on our side Tidal eyes from years away Nothing changes in the shade But our history can always be revised And the sounds of open windows, up and down the street Concrete shadows of the trees, of the trees When you fall asleep, and your eyes close It's nice to finally meet you, I've been locked inside a smile We fell along the way and we both know The Downer races run back to the place we left behind Someone had to stay There's no room for company Seems this duel cannot be settled by a tie We can leave for our own sakes But the storm that we will face Will engulf us or leave us high and dry And the sounds from Oakland windows, up and down the street Concrete shadows of the trees, of the trees When you fall asleep, and your eyes close It's nice to finally meet you, I've been locked inside a smile We fell along the way and we both know The Downer races run back to the place we left behind (behind, behind) [instrumental bridge] When you fall asleep, and your eyes close It's nice to finally meet you, I've been locked inside a smile We fell along the way and we both know The Downer races run back to the place we left behind
