Survive

she was a young girl who needed to believe
that she belonged to something bigger than herself
he was a young boy who always had the feeling
that he could be bigger than anybody else

the fates conspired to bring them to each other
a couple kindred spirits in a small Texas town
Together they wandered aimlessly through empty streets
weaving mass conspiracies about everything around

(CHORUS)
and they were running through the graveyard
making up stories and chasing demons
running through the churchyard
searching for signs that god's alive

living in that small town
trying not to lose themselves
living in their own world
just trying to survive

(or a musical interlude?)

She never noticed dark circles underneath his eyes
etched there by the secrets that he thought he couldn't share
Sometimes he noticed a glimpse of shame darken her face
he wanted to ask her why, but he didn't dare

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
Midsummer evenings can cast a spell to ease teenage pain
Tucked away graveyards can become magic lands in the mind
They didn't know that the secrets that they kept were the same
When will they realize that beneath it they were two of a kind

(CHORUS)
