[Verse 1]
Chalky skies and morning papers
Kettle hum between the rain
Sidewalk stones recall the capers
We lived once, forgot the pain

Mismatched shoes and coloured scarves
Reflections peer from passing cars

[Chorus]
Moonlit friends on crooked fences
Talking truth in silver sentences
Falling fast for faded chances
Holding on to broken lenses

[Post-Chorus]
La la la, oh oh la la la

[Verse 2]
Ashtrays fill with distant laughter
Empty shoes line up the floor
Streetlights fade then flicker after
Someone leaves the open door

[Pre-Chorus]
Paper dreams on shattered tables
We wear masks like we're able

[Chorus]
Moonlit friends on crooked fences
Talking truth in silver sentences
Falling fast for faded chances
Holding on to broken lenses

[Post-Chorus]
La la la, oh oh la la la

[Chorus]
Moonlit friends on crooked fences
Talking truth in silver sentences
Falling fast for faded chances
Holding on to broken lenses

[Post-Chorus]
La la la, oh oh la la la

[Verse 2]
Ashtrays fill with distant laughter
Empty shoes line up the floor
Streetlights fade then flicker after
Someone leaves the open door

[Pre-Chorus]
Paper dreams on shattered tables
We wear masks like we're able

[Chorus]
Moonlit friends on crooked fences
Talking truth in silver sentences
Falling fast for faded chances
Holding on to broken lenses

[Post-Chorus]
La la la, oh oh la la la

[Bridge]
Windows rattle with the newsprint blowing
Every face a story swiftly going
Down the alley, secrets softly traded
Old regrets in melodies outdated

[Outro]
Morning quietly reclaims the scene
Hats and coats and days between
Turn the page and soft confess
Hope is waiting nonetheless

[Post-Chorus]
La la la, oh oh la la la
La la la, oh oh la la la
