Verse 1:
E minorEm
And we can run
From the backdrop of these gears and scalpels
C majorC
At every hour
Goes the tick-tock bang of monitors
D MajorD
As they stared us down
When we met in the emergency room

And in our beds
E minorEm
I could hear you breathe with help from cold machines

Every hour, on the hour, they drew blood
Verse 2:
E minorEm
Well, I felt I couldn't take
Another day inside this place

From silent dreams we never wake
And in this promise that we'll make

Starless eyes for heaven's sake
But I hear you, anyway

We don't have to stay
Stay inside this place"

Someday, this day, we kept falling down

And I love you for...

This day, someday, we kept falling down

It would never end
