it must be written that the
moon elbowed the stars and
said, let's do our best to
make it hard for them
your house turned into paper
cranes, we watched the wind
blow them away
some sorry comfort I was then

the weight of a mountain
the skin off your knees
from climbing back to me

we can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible

they turned our skeletons to wood,
and scattered matches underfoot
we must walk carefully in place

the circles darken 'round our eyes
and yet our bodies, when combined
they gleam like diamonds in a cave

the weight of a mountain
the skin off your knees
from climbing back to me

we can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible now
keep the world without
only the two of us count
two voices loud
it is possible now
though they wore us down
we'll find our way again

heloise gave her whole heart to pete
now eternally sleeps by his side
oh, go ahead, fate, oh, give us your best
what is worth living for is worth a fight
into the night

we can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible now
oh, without a doubt
we'll work this out
yeah, they'll hurt us now
on my knees, it makes me want
to scream and shout
yeah, we'll work this out
just the two of us now
keep the world without

    (These are the actual lyrics)

    It must be written that the moon Elbowed the stars and said Let's do our best to make it hard for them

    Your house turned into paper cranes We watched the wind blow them away Some sorry comfort I was then

    The weight of a mountain The skin off your knees Come climbing up to me

    We can work this out, I believe Although it seems impossible

    They turned our skeletons to wood And scattered matches underfoot We must walk carefully these days

    The circles darken around our eyes And yet our bodies, when combined They gleam like diamonds in a cave

    The weight of a mountain The skin off your knees From climbing back to me

    We can work this out, I believe Although it seems impossible now Keep the world without only the two of us count

    Two voices loud, it is possible now They’ll try to tear us down But we'll find our way again

    And Heloise gave her whole heart to Pete Now eternally sleeps by his side Oh, go ahead, fate, oh, give us your best What is worth living for is worth a fight Into the night

    We can work this out, I believe Although it seems impossible now Yeah, without a doubt, we'll work it out

    They can’t hurt us now I’m on my knees, it makes me want to scream and shout Yeah, we'll work this out, just the two of us Keep the world without, keep the world
