Vertical Horizon Consolation
It's all so bright,
These blossoms on the pavement look so nice,
It's sad to see them fall,
But it's all right,
I guess you gotta go sometime,
It's everyone,
Thrown tendrils to the wind we reach for sun,
No thought for what could be our damage done,
Just to feel alive for once,
Let's just sit a while and watch the cars go by,
Maybe save the talking for another time,
I just wanna make it to a better day,
I wonder where to go to make it all okay,
Some consolation.
Looking back,
I wonder when the tides begin to slack,
You can't help the way you grow, and that's a fact,
You've been looking for the holes,
But not the crash,
And so we sing,
Raise voices to the sky echoing,
Just waiting for the cops to stop this thing,
The inevitable reckoning,
Let's just sit a while and watch the cars go by,
Maybe save the talking for another time,
I just wanna make it to a better day,
I wonder where to go to make it all okay,
Some consolation,
Some consolation,
Give me consolation,
A little bit of consolation.
And the girls are fine,
And the guys are fine,
And the love is real,
As the faith is blind,
And the bills are paid,
With the payment due,
And the blood is red,
But the heart is blue,
And the Mondays come,
And the Fridays go,
But you believe in hope,
But you never know,
Still every scar,
Has a job to do,
Someone knew about me,
And told me about you,
About you,
Let's just sit a while and watch the cars go by,
Maybe save the talking for another time,
I just wanna make it to a better day,
I wonder where to go to make it all okay,
Some consolation,
Some consolation,
Give us consolation,
A little bit of consolation.
