★ 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
Alfred Howard - Coauthors {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
