Do you remember the way we'd dance
Along the cliffside by the shore
With all of the boys we loved
As the sun sank 'neath the waves?
In that perfect place
That we'd carved for ourselves
If we could taste just one whole night
With no one out there left to fight
I held you as the downpour washed
The glitter from your cheeks
But today there's tears raining from your eyes
And glitter in the sky
Orange and aubergine
Fade from the horizon
A dead channel of television
For the rest of our lives
Every day and night in the sky
I miss the ocean foam
Without the taste of chrome
In every breeze from out to sea
It may be this or dyin'
But I won't stop cryin' for what we once had
I suppose it was naive to believe
That the melodrama of apocalyptic visions
Would rip our world at the seams
They say they're buyin' time
To take the carbon down
But all I hear's the sound of them pumping out
More of that mirrored ash in the clouds
And all the breaths we've yet to take
Are 'cause we had to face
That impossible, harrowing choice between
The sunset or the waves
Orange and aubergine
Fade from the horizon
A dead channel of television
For the rest of our lives
Every day and night in the sky
I miss the ocean foam
Without the taste of chrome
In every breeze from out to sea
It may be this or dyin'
But I won't stop cryin' for what we once had
What do you do when you've lived a whole lifetime
Knowin' we were all gonna die?
What do you do when you wake up still alive?
What do you do when the sun sets in the sky
For the last night of your life?
What do you do when you wake up still alive?
What do you do when you've lived a whole lifetime
Knowin' we were all gonna die?
What do you do when you wake up still alive?
What do you do when the sun sets in the sky
For the last night of your life?
What do you do when you wake up still alive, alive, alive?
Orange and aubergine
Fade from the horizon
A dead channel of television
For the rest of our lives
Every day and night in the sky
I miss the ocean foam
Without the taste of chrome
In every breeze from out to sea
It may be this or dyin'
But I won't stop cryin' for this
Orange and aubergine
Fade from the horizon
A dead channel of television
For the rest of our lives
And I won't stop cryin' for what we once had
I won't stop cryin' for what we could've had
I won't stop cryin' for what we should've had
Along the cliffside by the shore
With all of the boys we loved
As the sun sank 'neath the waves?
In that perfect place
That we'd carved for ourselves
If we could taste just one whole night
With no one out there left to fight
I held you as the downpour washed
The glitter from your cheeks
But today there's tears raining from your eyes
And glitter in the sky
Orange and aubergine
Fade from the horizon
A dead channel of television
For the rest of our lives
Every day and night in the sky

In every breeze from out to sea

What do you do when you wake up still alive?
What do you do when you've lived a whole lifetime

I won't stop cryin' for what we should've had
