Correct Lyrics (from the album):
Did you see the sky
I think it means that we've been lost
Maybe one less time is all we need
I can't really help it if my tongue's all tied in knots
Jumping off a bridge
It's just the farthest that I've ever been
Chorus:
Anywhere you go
I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go
I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
I know we're headed somewhere
I can see how far we've come
Still I can't remember anything
Let's not do the wrong thing
And I'll swear it might be fun
It's along way down
When all the knots we've tied
Have come undone
Chorus
How you gonna ever find your place
Running in an artificial pace
Are they gonna find us
Lying face down in the sand
So what the hell
We've already been forever damned
Chorus
