Against the Day - Wolf Parade

We were lost on the map

We’ve marked our path but we can’t get back

And here on the beach

The night believes it is endless

All is calm now

Seconds fade but the centuries remain, love

We are standing

Against the day

Against the day

You can walk into town

See the same old scene always goin' down

Along the arcade

A thousand flowers bloom and fade

All is calm, love

Every change is a brand new upon the brain here

We are standing

Against the day

Against the day

Friend, isn’t it so strange

How the only things that change

Are the ones upon the surface?

The restless moss upon the grave

Seems they’ll always love the sun

Seems they’ll always need one another

Seems they’ll always turn and run

At the sight of our blood-covered countenance

All is gone now

Seconds fade but our hearts will still remain, love

They are endless

I will empty my head into the night

Under the gaze of Orion

Hand in her hand, together we’ll walk

Into the jaws of the sun, I know

All is gone now

Our only crime was living past our prime, love

And standing

Against the day
