Let's Get Lost


I see you sat amongst your friends
The silence says it all
Your loneliness is captured by the drab and empty walls
Yeah, I've seen the way you listen with that glazed and hollow look
I see you slowly shed a tear and leave it there to dry
The golden thoughts of yesteryear that slowly seem to die
I'm saddened by the notion that we're drifting through these days
And the state of my emotion is reflected in your gaze

So hand-in-hand let's walk away, let's find another world
Nothing planned, no more to say, our happiness unfurled

Major highs, manic lows
Mixing drinks to soothe the blows
Yeah this is where the evening goes when we're getting lost
Loved-up weekends, lazy days
Dreams escape the drunken haze
It's different feelings, different ways, of getting lost

So there's nothing planned, no more to say, nothing left to hide
You place your hand in mine, we lie resting side by side
And I see a smile start to slowly spread across your face
And the residues of sadness disappear without a trace
Dreams of feelings, dreams of days, nothing seems to matter
The kind of dreams that never fade; never seem to shatter
The kind of place where people live their lives without a care
With nothing left to lose, we're left with everything to share

So hand-in-hand let's walk away, let's find another world
Nothing planned, no more to say, our happiness unfurled

Major highs, manic lows
Mixing drinks to soothe the blows
Yeah this is where the evening goes when we're getting lost
Loved-up weekends, lazy days
Dreams escape the drunken haze
It's different feelings, different ways, of getting lost, yeah

Major highs, manic lows
Mixing drinks to soothe the blows
Yeah this is where the evening goes when we're getting lost
Loved-up weekends, lazy days
Dreams escape the drunken haze
It's different feelings, different ways, of getting lost
So let's get lost
