Words and music by Mike Pace

lyrics

Please give me something I can understand
a wisp, a moment, hold it in my hands
The night’s aglow, the moon hangs low
the glint is in the glass
Don’t think there’s any reason for goodbyes

Think it over for a second
one grain in the sands of time
Band on the run as the hourglass smashed tonight

And the weight of each decision
crashing down like tidal waves
Even the crooks and the dimestore hoods have faith

Signs are on the ceiling, writing’s on the wall
There’s a terrifying feeling I won’t see you anymore
and I just can't stop the bleeding so I’ll learn to love the pain
I never thought that this is how it ends

Familiar favorites back by popular demand
The air is heavy with the sweat of cheap romance
The room is hot and the girls forgot
the boys are in the band
Don’t see any reason for goodbyes

And the evening’s entertainment
killed the crowd just like a plague
Nobody noticed the path we would take
Head for the lights; we saved

Signs are on the ceiling, writing’s on the wall
There’s a terrifying feeling I won’t see you anymore
and I just can't stop the bleeding so I’ll learn to love the pain
I never thought that this is how it ends

That’s the cost of doing business
That’s the shot across the bow
Just get in the van as fast as you can, for now before it gets too dark to find it

Signs are on the ceiling, writing’s on the wall
There’s a terrifying feeling I won’t see you anymore
and I cannot stop the bleeding so I’ll learn to love the pain
I never thought that this is how it ends
