The Race Lyrics - Singles - The Receiving End Of Sirens

Second Place to you is the last place I ever thought I'd be 

and in this race the selfish survive while the selfless suffocate in suffering 

I'm choking on the words that kept us alive 

So kiss me and them and all we had goodbye 

Where was I? 

When you kicked out the lights 

and when this world turns black you can't take back 

all the lines you've crossed and trust you've lost 

(X's 2) 

So take my hand, no, not to hold 

You could use the extra fingers to count your mistakes 

because this distance has only lead to deception 

a curse for every mile 

and a lie for every smile 

Where was I? 

When you kicked out the lights 

and when this world turns black you can't take back 

all the lines you've crossed and trust you've lost 

(X's 2) 

Drown in your goodbyes, and miss what we had 

Foreign tongues are burning above self-righteous heads 

you're so dexterous and articulate and I count on too many fingers and friends. 

. . .and friends. 

if your body is a temple then your roof is on fire 

(X's 5) 

Where was I? 

When you kicked out the lights 

and when this world turns black you can't take back 

all the lines you've crossed and trust you've lost 

Drown in your goodbyes, and miss what we had
