we are

I'm in love with this song, and I can't place why--

we are, we are...

take a listen through the window
take a lover on the radio
ask her if she's got an answer
do you know

time enough to get a good one
though they never seem to get done
I am standing for a reason
do you know

cause I don't know how
and I don't know where
we are
we are
and I don't know why
I don't know if
we are
we are

seven days and not a return
seven lives and not a thing learned
take a lover on the highway
do you know

cause I am sleeping on a time bomb
and I am waiting for the light to come
you and I could get away now
do you know

cause I don't know how
I don't know where
we are
we are
and I don't know why
I don't know if
we are
we are

I get up sometimes
like somebody else
am I just wasting time
for somebody else

take a listen through the window
another lover on the radio
ask her if she's got an answer
do you know

cause I don't know how
I don't know where
we are
we are
and I don't know why
I don't know if...
we are
we are


Give me just a second and I'll be all right
Surely one more moment couldn't break my heart
Give me till tomorrow then I'll be okay
Just another day and then I'll hold you tight

When your love is pouring like the rain
I close my eyes and it's gone again
When will I get the chance to say "I love you"?
I pretend that you're already mine
Then my heart ain't breaking every time
I look into your eyes


But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen, listen and wait for
The echoes of angels who won't return
