The News - July Talk

If only everything that happened in our dreams were true

And nothing bad could ever happen to you

When we feel too much, we’d just wake up

And all the longing to belong would always be enough

Give me context, without context, everything is true

Only nothing that happens only happens to you

If the news should ever break our way

Would we still hear the truth of someone that’s been left behind?

And if truth should ever be unkind

Would we still know that everything that’s true is by design

And that everything that’s true is ours to find?

I woke up, I was the same, but all my dreams had died

What fucking happened?

Guess everyone who spoke in tongues had lied

In the lobby, watched the dawning of a different side

Give me context, without context, everything is true

Besides, nothing that happens only happens to you

If the news should ever break our way

Would we still hear the truth of someone that’s been left behind?

And if truth should ever be unclear

Would we still know that everything that’s fair is hard to hear

And that everything breaks down in love and fear?

Everything that happens

Everything that happens

Everything that happens

If the news should ever be unkind

Would we still know that everything that’s true is by design

And that everything that’s true’s hard to define

And that everything that’s true is ours to find?
