I've been writing it all down Tracing narrative arcs In a sea of prior art I've been running to headwinds Would've made you proud Keep kicking when you go down Caroline I Notice when you laugh You don't smile, you look sad You look sad But she gets lost and doesn't mind Heaven is the weight of all alone The light gets in from other lives Making up the sound of someone home And I've been raging at headlines Making uselessness art While the whole thing comes apart And I've been listing on empty Push till the lights go out (till the lights go out) It's never all that easy Till you know what you are and aren't Caroline I Notice when you laugh You don't smile, you look sad Caroline I Notice when you laugh You don't smile, you look sad You look sad But she gets lost and never minds Heaven is the weight of all alone The light gets in from other lives Making up the sound of someone home She says, "The world's on fire and I don't mind The world's on fire and I feel fine" She says, "The world's on fire and I don't feel a thing at all" She says, "The world's on fire and I don't mind The world's on fire and I feel fine" She says, "The world's on fire and I don't feel a thing at all" All neon nights, electric lives From darkness to the blinding light She says, "The world's on fire and I don't feel a thing at all" No saints in the heavens, there's no "mean to be" Don't be religious when it comes to the promise of biology From a flame in the dark to a flash on the screen You can give up on hope or give up on the dream They're not the same thing, they're not the same damn thing Caroline I Notice when you laugh You don't smile, you look sad She gets lost and doesn't mind Heaven is the weight of all alone The light gets in from other lives Making up the sound of someone home Who can sleep on sleepless nights? Wandering till daylight comes With all this light from other lives The world's on fire and I don't mind
