  • I've been staring at the ceiling
    Watching the fans flow around, round and round
    'Cause I can't hear my breathing
    The words we said are still so loud, loud, loud

    And we been drifting off so far
    And I don't even know where we are
    Before we jump, before we leave
    And all is lost for you and me, yeah

    If we're not stupid
    We'll both hold on for dear love
    Find our way through this
    It's not worth just giving up
    'Cause I've got some fire left in me
    And I don't see us ending this way
    If we're not stupid
    We'll both hold on for dear love, love

    I've been weighed down by the silence
    All these words that don't come out, out
    Been tempted just to write it
    And say I'm sorry without a sound, sound, sound

    'Cause we been drifting off so far
    That I don't even know where we are
    But we can try and we can speak
    Before we're lost indefinitely

    If we're not stupid
    We'll both hold on for dear love
    Find our way through this
    It's not worth just giving up
    'Cause I've got some fire left in me
    And I don't see us ending this way
    If we're not stupid
    We'll both hold on for dear love, love

    I been terribly human
    Using you like a punching bag
    And you been terribly angry
    Taking out all your worst words on me
    And I see what we were
    And I know that we've hurt
    But I know that it's worth it to fight
    For all our love tonight

    If we're not stupid
    We'll both hold on for dear love
    Find our way through this
    It's not worth just giving up
    'Cause I've got some fire left in me
    And I don't see us ending this way
    If we're not stupid
    We'll both hold on for dear love, love
