Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, We feel the burning up
And you’re wasting all your luck, and I’ll be here for you, here for you
When the dark is at his bone, And you run away from the hope
I’ll be here for you, and I’m here for you
I’m here for you, you, you, I’m here for you, yeah, you, you

Watching, watching, as the credits all roll down
Crying, crying, you know we’re playing to a full house, house
No heroes, villains, one to blame, While wilted roses fill the stage
And the thrill, the thrill is gone; our debut was a masterpiece
But in the end for you and me, Oh, the show, it can’t go on
We used to have it all, but now’s our curtain call, So hold for the applause, oh
And wave out to the crowd, and take our final bow
Oh, it’s our time to go, but at least we stole the show
At least we stole the show, At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show, At least we stole the show

Like a kid and a teddy bear, Like a leaf blowing in the air
Could you carry me? Could you carry me?
Like a flag after a war, When you’re gone and when you’re firstborn
Could you carry me? Could you carry me?
Cause I don’t know how we, How we got so far, you and me
Almost like there’s oceans between us, us
So I need to know, Could you carry me?
Back into your heart again, Could you carry me?
Running to your distant hands, Could you carry me?
Running back to where we started from, Could you carry me?

I had a dream
We were sipping whiskey neat, Highest floor, The Bowery
And I was high enough, Somewhere along the lines
We stopped seeing eye to eye, and You were staying out all night
And I had enough; no, I don’t want to know
Where you been or where you’re goin’, But I know I won’t be home
And you’ll be on your own; who’s going to walk you?
Through the dark side of the morning? Who’s going to rock you?
When won’t the sun let you sleep? Who’s waking up to drive you home

Stranger things, We’re like, like we’re stranger things (very far)
We’re stranger things (dream of places at) because that’s just who we are
We’d used to run around this ghost town, Always thinking out loud
Are we going to get out? I remember
We dream of places that we could go, Castles with the strange glow
People that we don’t know, I remember
We left a life, That’s ordinary from the start
We looked for stranger things because that’s just who we are
Found me the edge of something beautiful and loud, Like I’m picturing now

It doesn’t matter where you are, and you can keep my regret, because baby, I got these scars, reminding me to forget
Reminding me, I got these scars, to forget your love, Keep reminding me, ooh, to forget your love
You left your burn (in my heart). You left your mark, reminding me to forget.
You left your burn (in my heart). You left your mark (under my skin)
You left your burn (in my heart). You left your mark, reminding me to forget
You left your burn (in my heart). You left your mark (under my skin)

Are you the only one, Lost in the millions?
Or are you my grain of sand, That’s blowing in the wind?

And now I’m holdin’ on, and I guess you don’t know what you got
Until it’s gone, Sometimes you have to lose somebody
Just to find out you love someone, Oh-oh-oh, and I do, and I do, and I do, yeah
Sometimes you have to lose somebody, Just to find out you love someone
