The Talks (Remastered)

They say the brightest flames burn out the fastest Candlelight nights on the sofa we practiced Kept each other from our plans but the fact is Thought it would go farther than the time that we lasted We used to settle in the parking lot, play our games and call the shots Getting caught by our parents was nothing but an afterthought Don't explain to them why we are acting like the astronauts Never would they learn the meaning of the dreams that we sought Shatter the clock for rushing what was A shot for every day we started running from us A thousand second chances we got when we jumped the gun A smile and a wave to hide the fact I'm coughing up blood Both of us waiting to see who'll pull the trigger Who would finally take care of that itch on our fingers, yeah What did you do to me? What did you-- what'd you do? They say the brightest flames burn out the fastest Candlelight nights on the sofa we practiced Kept each other from our plans but the fact is Thought it would go farther than the time that we lasted We used to play around when we were bored Act out the movies we turned on but eventually ignored Smooth talkers on the couch but unbreakable of course Our friends sometimes got sick of our little scores We used to speak in our own made-up language and some Before the words bounced off your tongue I knew what was about to come We'd blast the aux and all our worries would turn to none That was when we were younger, under the lights we had hung But then the talks turned so cryptic, the indifference consistent My mind fired stories up ballistic, burning the specifics Started turning me into this unrelenting cynic Never wanted this, you never wanted to hear it Now I've been drowning in songs that tell me what should've been I wish I couldn't read your thoughts from the slight of your grin You say we're cool but we're still playing this game, it's just our way But this time the sparks have left your name They say the brightest flames burn out the fastest Candlelight nights on the sofa we practiced Kept each other from our plans but the fact is Thought it would go farther than the time that we lasted (I don't know what you want from me I thought that you'd help me see I don't know what you want from me I put faith to a face) But now I don't know what to believe I don't know what I want to believe And I dreamed about you in my arms and how Nothing could bring us down -- your name's the only sound I ever wanted to hear But we lost control I fear We fell in love with the ideas, our real selves eclipsed For a bit we were the myth on everybody's lips Now I know I'm only chasing a ghost Know I need to let you go Cause you know (No, no) They say the brightest flames burn out the fastest Candlelight nights on the sofa we practiced Kept each other from our plans but the fact is Thought it would go farther than the time that we lasted They say the brightest flames burn out the fastest Candlelight nights on the sofa we practiced Kept each other from our plans but the fact is The love is nothing any more but in the past tense
