Century After Century Lyrics - Singles - Idlewild

Since you're breathing, is it all that a space can fill? 

So just by looking in, I'll be looking still 

You find and follow stories well 

You're naked except for a newspaper 

The headline telling me that fortune favors the brave 

I've never been known to be that brave 

What I want is on it's way out 

All I needed was an easier way to stay 

Walking around the city as the light fades 

Is it all that you remain? 

I'm thinking about each promise that I have ever made 

I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say 

Century after century they remain 

And if I need to remember that the entire earth is outside this room 

So close the windows and keep the curtains shut forever 

And if I need to remember that the entire earth is outside this room 

So close the windows, close the windows 

Isn't it romantic to be romantic when you don't understand what you love? 

Or if a word like that could ever mean anything 

When what you want is on it's way out 

I didn't hear cheer leading for creative writers 

And your cheekbones don't taste of anything at all 

It's on it's way out, it's just an easier way to stay 

Talking about a city that the light made 

Is it all that you remain? 

It's the same stories told but it's the stories that don't fade 

I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say 

Century after century they remain 

Is it all that you remain? 

Is it all that you remain? 

Is it all that you remain? 

...
