Iron Chic Amazing Fantasy Lyrics

When the weeks start
When the world stops turning
We were young, dumb and earnest
And we burned like a furnace
Now we can't stop
No, we won't stop learning
And if words couldn't hurt us
They could bring out the worst in us

I tried so hard
Couldn't bear the weight of my heart
So I stepped in the center
Maybe this time, forever
New hopes
And old crimes
Don't really mean shit this time
They mean shit this time

And the worst part?
When the words stop working
And we're looking for purchase
On a vertical surface
And we can't stop
No, we won't stop searching
When our purpose deserts us
We'll probably deserve it

I tried so hard
Couldn't bear the weight of my heart
So I stepped in the center
Maybe this time, forever
New hopes
And old crimes
Don't really mean shit this time
They mean shit this time

I tried so hard
Couldn't bear the weight of my heart
New hopes
Old crimes
Don't really mean shit this time
