Nick Barone - In Monochrome Lyrics

I didn't know your name 'till I saw it
Tattooed on a bedroom wall
We both packed our bags for the rocket
Took off for the great unknown
You keep a picture in your locket
Make the restless feel alive
Counted down the days to leavin'
Who am I to criticize

It's been a long life
Being here without you
You were a spring time
Raining through my clothes
It was a short ride
We thought it'd last forever
We were two of a kind
Vagabonds in flickering monochrome

I think I'll move to san diego
Fill my lungs with gasoline
If they find me breathing fire
I've only spoke your name again
Maybe I believe in nothing
Maybe it believes in me
A fatalistic superstition
The setting sun in everything

We were a prize fight
We won a losing battle
It was a bronze knife
Closing on your throat
Hither young lion
The days go on without you
We were two of a kind
Vagabonds in fits of monochrome

It's never easy like they promise it'll be
All the simple things get mixed up in the miles
But i'll keep working if you're holding on to me
You make the world look like it did
When I was just a child

In the warm night
I thought I heard you laughing
Under moonlight
Putting on your coat
You got stage fright
In clouds above the ocean
We were two of a kind
Compromise and sedatives
It's alright
I pictured all your futures
Like a porch light
Bleeding through the shades
And in due time
The world would come between us
We were two of a kind
Breaking every promise that we made
