When you finally expire You are sleeping alone in the dark You can finally retire You can finally go let go of your spark How'd you ever get so close? How'd you ever get so close? How'd you ever get so close? Close to me You say "walk me out See if I am really an original" You say "walk me out I have nothing left for me to prove" How'd you ever get so close? How'd you ever get so close? How'd you ever get so close? Close to me How'd you ever get so close? How'd you ever get so close? How'd you ever get so close? Close to me Close to me, close to me Close to me, close to me We are born in the dark We die the same way We're igniting a spark We snuff out one day And we're barely around We're the wind So we go where we're blowing We are born in the dark And we never know why We can breathe from the start We can't help but cry And we mourn for the past But the past doesn't know where we're going We are born in the dark And we never know how We don't know what we want But we want it right now And the light hits our face Begins to inform our beginning How'd you ever get so close? How'd you ever get so close? How'd you ever get so close? Close to me We are born in the dark We are born in the dark We are born in the dark We are born in the dark We are born in the dark We are born in the dark We are born in the dark We are born in the dark
