I met you on a stormy weekend
You never meant to draw the line
I saw you once, you didn't smile

Thought you needed my advice
But didn't know it at the time


I called you in the dead of winter
You didn't even hold the line
I've seen it all, the great decline

One more troubled state of mine
What's so wrong? Why can't you even try?


Hear me out now, a thousand miles 'round
That the sound of strangers breaking new ground
It's the breakdown of a lifetime

Here we go now falling of the straight line
Lost in city lights


I know all about your little secrets
I've felt the chills and your regrets
I heard 'em all, yeah through the wall

While you never had a clue
And if you knew, what would you do?


Hear me out now, a thousand miles 'round
That the sound of strangers breaking new ground
It's the breakdown of a lifetime

Here we go now falling of the straight line

I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, we're dreaming


Falling back in the days you were doing all right
If you're set in your ways then you fade out of sight

When at first it felt wrong it soon became right
Now the cracks on the wall were a map of your life
The addiction is back and it's heavy this time

Now you're talking to the voices through the wall
Will you make it this time?


Hear me out now, a thousand miles 'round
That the sound of strangers breaking new ground
It's the breakdown of a lifetime

Here we go now falling of the straight line

Cause I don't wanna know

That's the sound of strangers breaking new ground
Lost in city lights
Here we go now falling of the straight line
