lyrics

blue eyes traded your innocence
for some cliche American sadness
with your faded jeans and your cigarettes
well i dried my clothes but my hair's still wet

the tragic death and the legacy
they lay their prize at the prom queens feet
and pray that tomorrow we'll live again
and love like only strangers can

cause we're all just waiting on the son of god to say
you played your part and you got an A
and you can die in the war or with her name
and i'll make you young for one more day

you are the northernmost part of me
you're my orphan ornament misery
and the same old poison is in my veins
and you run it through me like a speeding train

so i might never make it to history
or run like the wind and fall with the leaves
but i stumbled through all nine symphonies
and there’s nothing but heaven waiting on me

cause we're all just waiting on a midnight clock to chime
and you smell like rain and i close my eyes
and for a second i am not afraid to die
come on make me young for one more night

cause we're all just waiting on the son of god to say
you played your part and you got an A
and you can dance in the dark or on a stage
but the crowd will leave you either way
and i'm still waiting on that midnight clock to change
and i held your hands and you held my face
and said my darling there was never choice in fate
we can still be young, we're a dog eared page
