Lyrics:
Let's burn a hole so we can climb out
Of these paper walls and this empty house
Don't listen too close
The words are like guns
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won

Let's burn a hole so we can climb out
Of these paper walls and this empty house
Where the only thing that's real is
Visions we have of ten years ago
Of stars in the sky and us down below
With streets and East Coast lines,
We kept this scene alive

Here I am, still hold on to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone

Don't listen too close
The words are like guns
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won
Some love to hate and some tell you lies

So let's make a toast and kiss them goodbye
We'll kiss them all goodbye

Here I am, still hold on to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Here I stand, won't turn back again
Won't leave you, I know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone

Let's take what hurts and write it all down
On these paper walls and this empty house
And when our ink runs out,
We'll burn into the ground

Here I am, still hold on to this dream we had
Won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Here I stand, won't turn back again
Won't leave you, I know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone
