It's how it's meant to be,
Great escapists running free.

He has known what you have known,
A dozen lifetimes on your own.

It's how it's meant to be.

He came all this way for you,
Trading the ghosts for someone new.

You stare at all the buildings
And you know that something's changed.
You look down from the rooftop,
Hearing sirens through the rain.

Hear the sirens through the rain.

It's how it's meant to be,
Protected from the city freeze.

You have known what he has known,
A thousand dreams turned broken bones.

It's how it's meant to be.

He came all this way for you,
Trading the ghosts from someone new.

You stare at all the buildings
And you know that something's changed.
You look down from the rooftop,
Hearing sirens through the rain.

Hear the sirens through the rain.
