Beautiful Discrepancy

Verse 1) Neon haze and the first long night We were silhouettes in the morning light Everything felt like a brand new law Ignoring every shadow, every single flaw You were the rhythm, I was the beat Walking on air through the city heat But now the silence is getting loud Searching for you in a gathering cloud.

(Pre-Chorus) We’re dancing on the edge of a golden dream While the edges are fraying at the seam The rush of the high, the weight of the fall Everything at once, then nothing at all.

(Chorus) Echoes of us in the middle of the room Flowers of May in a winter bloom It’s a beautiful mess, it’s a sweet mistake The more we give, the more we break Caught in the glow of what we used to be While I’m losing you and you’re losing me High on the start, low on the end Where does the lover turn into the friend?

(Verse 2) You’re moving quiet through the hallways now Making a promise then breaking the vow A "perfect" mind but a wandering heart Watching the masterpiece fall apart One eye on the exit, one on the glow Holding on tight just to let it go The sugar is bitter, the salt is sweet The ghost of the magic is all that we meet.

(Bridge) Don’t wake me up, let the bassline roll I’d rather have the lie than the hole in my soul Keep the lights low, keep the truth at bay Just for a second, let the music stay.

(Chorus) Echoes of us in the middle of the room Flowers of May in a winter bloom It’s a beautiful mess, it’s a sweet mistake The more we give, the more we break Caught in the glow of what we used to be While I’m losing you and you’re losing me High on the start, low on the end Where does the lover turn into the friend?

(Outro) (Deep bass pulse) Golden haze. Hollow days. We’re dancing in the discrepancy. Just one more time. (Fade out) Beautiful mess. Sweet mistake. Echoes.
