for the hearts that need to be found, and the hopes that we won't lose them again once they have been tracked down

lyrics

in the bar in the bar i can see you from a far away baby
i can hear your voice growing louder as they say you’re crazy
they can’t handle i don’t think they can handle the state that we’re in
they walk by the hungry and the homeless state that we’re in

and they’re falling away from here destroying everything they need to be here

seven long days and he feels like he’s done it for nothing
he’s barely got food on the table and the bills they keep coming
but, he must try to smile no matter the toll that it takes
for his children will love him no matter the fuck ups he makes

he can't keep falling away from here
destroying everything he needs to be here

she was born in a place but she’ll never say it’s her own
so she empties her little piggy and then hits the road
maybe on the road she will go where no body knows
they all cover their ears and their eyes where no body knows

and she’s falling away from here
destroying everything she needs to be here
and we’re falling away from here
destroying everything we need to be here
where ever we fall, we fall with our tears

in the darkness when the night calls and the clouds go rolling by
lightening flashes and the thunder rattles your bones
and love is the way to your heart is the way to your dying heart
