Salvation Army

Burning out like a streetlight
Burning out with your hands on the wheel
Burning out in the January sun
Burning out for real

You had a dream that you pulled the trigger
Watched the hammer come down
We had a good run, floating down the river
Until the river ran out

And all the time spent looking for each other
Is time spent well
It wasn't much but I swear it was something
As far as I can tell

Staring out of the shotgun window
As you speed down the 405
Love's a string that I tied my kite to, and set the kite on fire
And that night by the Salvation Army
I tried to show you where the North Star was
You couldn't see a single constellation
Just the cops meeting their quotas

And all the time spent looking for each other
Is time spent well
It wasn't much but I swear it was something
As far as I can tell
And all the time spent looking for each other
Is time spent well
It wasn't much but I swear it was something
As far as I can tell

Nothing can hurt us now
Nothing can hurt us now
Nothing can hurt us now

Had a dream that you pulled the trigger
Watched the hammer come down
We had a good run, floating down the river
Until the river ran out
