★ Verse 1 ★
Honey, did you see the headlines?
Are you following the phone wires
Stitching up the nation?
Spreading conversation
I can’t believe my own eyes
Livin' in a riptide
Caught up in the current
Could you give me some assurance?

★ Verse 2 ★
And, mama, is this alright?
Will we make it out alive?
Was it supposed to be this violent?
I, I want a moment of silence

★ Refrain ★
For our fallen future
With its second-hand sutures
A bandaid for a gunshot
No medicine for what we’ve got

★ Chorus ★
I loved you in a daydream
I lovеd you while the world screamеd
I loved you as the fires burned
And I’ll love you through the night
I need your breath like water
Will you be my day’s coauthor
As we turn on the axis
Until we get it right?
Until we get it right?

★ Guitar Solo ★

★ Verse 3 ★
The sun’s a fallen fever
I’m not following these leaders
They walk backwards
And that could get worse
Perfect, worthless
We’ll be veterans of living
When both sides are unforgiving

★ Chorus ★
I loved you in a daydream
I loved you while the world screamed
I loved you as the fires burned
And I loved you through the night
I need your breath like water
Will you be my day’s coauthor
As we turn on the axis
Until we get it right?
Until we get it right?

★ Outro ★
Until we get it right
Until we get it right
