Testo di 'The Ruins' di How To Dress Well

If it were a dream I’d let it have me, even if it ended badly
If it left me unhappy, I’d do it all again gladly
When we were younger she would ask me
How people become so nasty
When they all start out so softly
Just how much life can really cost me?

Count the hours since you left home
Counted all night, all night, all night
World’s crying on the telephone
Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"
I count the hours and the seconds too
I stayed up all night, all night, all night
When the floor hit the telephone
You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"
Yeah

What is really truly caring? It’s a blurry line
All the people staring is what I had always in mind
I should want more than this
But, oh, there’s a sickness in my flesh

See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins
See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins
See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins
See the flesh and the ruins, flesh in the ruins

Been this feeling in me my whole damn life
You put your hand under my chin say, "You gon’ be fine
If you end up breaking on down, just do it all online
I’ll watch you fall away like it was no fault of mine"

Count the hours since you left home
Counted all night, all night, all night
World’s crying on the telephone
Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"
I hear a dog barking, energy
Man, it’s so wild, so wild, so wild
When the floor hit the telephone
You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"

If the world wasn't crazy
And no one was broken in the ruins
If we couldn’t hear the people gasping
Couldn’t see the people trapped there
It’s not about interpretation, just the present situation
I’m amazed we have the patience
I can’t believe you had the patience
I was with a boy when he went crazy
Took the car we driving in and crashed it
No one understand what happens
Until you see that shit happen
If it were a drug, I’d let it take me
And course through my veins and use my body
Makin' me feel like I am nothing
Makin' me feel like I am nothing

Count the hours since you left home
Counted all night, all night, all night
World’s crying on the telephone
Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"
I hear a dog barking, energy
Man, it’s so wild, so wild, so wild
When the floor hit the telephone
You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"

Count the hours since you left home
Counted all night, all night, all night
World’s crying on the telephone
Telling everyone "it’s alright, it’s alright"
I hear a dog barking, energy
Man, it’s so wild, so wild, so wild
When the floor hit the telephone
You’re still telling no one, "it’s alright, it’s alright"
