laughing aloud lyrics

Eight weeks in the city
And you've never looked so pale
They say, the pure of heart don't stand a chance
And you'd better learn to swim
'Cause there will be rainy days

I'm blinded by the brake lights
Well, there's nothing moving here
And all your burning questions
They just get answered with another one
And there's no help at all

So question me no questions
It's a pointless enterprise
You ask and I'll only tell you
Exactly what I think you want to hear
Oh, mind the whitest lies

'Cause the truth, well, it's for students for philosophy
And faith is for losers like us
And secrets are for people
Who intend to get away with being in the wrong
So don't you breath a word

But save your breath for the laughing aloud again
Save your breath for the talking all night
Oh, save you breath for the laughing aloud again
Save your breath, save your breath

Will you listen to those bleeding hearts?
Pretend to show concern
And so we glanced towards our watches
And join in as everybody sings
Oh, what have we become?

Will you hop a train to anywhere?
It sure ain't no place like home
Where there are no strangers
Only people you don't wanna know
But before the crying out loud

Just save your breath for the laughing aloud again
Save your breath for the talking all night
Oh, save your breath for the laughing aloud
Oh, save your breath, save your breath

So meet me by the station
And bring a change of heart
And smile away the old country
As we watch it disappear
And pull these years apart

And scatter from the window
To settle on the fields
And tell yourself a hundred times
That forever starts today
And think how good it feels

To save your breath for the laughing aloud again
Save your breath for the talking all night
Oh, save your breath for the laughing aloud again
Save your breath, save your breath

Save your breath for the laughing aloud again
Save your breath for the talking all night
Oh, save your breath for the laughing aloud
Oh, save your breath, save

Oh, save your breath
(Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore)
Save your breath
(There must be something you consider to be worth fighting for)

Save your breath
(Waste your breath on running circles)
(Round and round and round)
Save your breath
(And talk about it when it cannot get you down)

Save your breath
(Nobody wants that much, we just want more)
Save your breath
(Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore)

Save your breath
(Don't waste your breath on running circles)
(Round and round and round and round)
Save your breath, save your breath
