We lost our lives to those summer stars
Is there a chance we'll get them back?
Burning holes, to lose control
And now there's nothing to attack
But in the end it's all for fun
We're like the wounded on parade
Yet all around, when the lights go down
In this town we'll have it made
We can walk with our distractions
Until they sort away our heads
Celebrate the scars we have, while all is left unsaid
But I promise you I'll never be misled
I promise you I'll never be misled
We lost ourselves to those summer nights
Is there some hope that we'll survive?
Somewhere still, we've got the will
And our future comes alive
But in the end, it's all for show
We're like some veterans on display
We'll tend the flock, while people gawk
And just talk like we're okay
We can walk with our distractions
Until they sort away our heads
Celebrate the scars we have, while all is left unsaid
But I promise you I'll never be misled
I promise you I'll never be misled
In my eyes, there has to be some meaning
In your heart, there has to be some truth
While all these compromises keep repeating
But somewhere in the end, it's wasted youth
So what's to say and what's to feel?
When absolutely nothing's real, I don't know
We can walk with our distractions
Until they sort away our heads
Celebrate the scars we have, while all is left unsaid
But I promise you I'll never be misled
I promise you I'll never be misled
Those summer stars keep dancing in our heads
But I promise you I'll never be misled
I promise you I'll never be misled
