Asking you to try my biggest mistake, you were running faster than the static through the wire, and i could've tried to run this fast... your flailing arms have sent a signal flare in to the night sky and i could try to save every smile i know that you just can't fake... and as our ghost cuts the wire the city lights became the fire. i called you off when you called my shots and we burned alive... (taking) two steps back, a victim arose in the light of the red, a picture fuels the flame when memory smears moisture in to ink (you loved to let me lie) and as our ghost cuts the wire the city lights became the fire. i called you off when you called my shots and we burned alive... and we burned (and we burned) ask me again and i would honor your request. ask me twice and i know the only rope that will suffice is the one tying you down... (it'll tie me, tie me down) oh, i know the ending hits the lights (yeah you were the ghost cutting the wire) oh, i know the ending closes eyes (yeah you were the ghost cutting the wire) oh, i knew (yeah you were the ghost) i knew, i knew...
