In a moment buildings rise up

as they start to fall

it's in these seconds

that she swears you can't hear much at all

it never seems to last

in this warm wet rain

I come around again

and with this sense of rapture

I would only lose my head

it never seems to last

so put on sunday shoes

dance the breakdown

so put on sunday shoes

come on dance the breakdown

and here we find ourselves in motion

on and off again

so lose the dead weight darling

it's everything you've never been

it never seems to last

if I could get this close to open hands

like open flames

then I might find myself in

different faces, different names

it never seems to last

so put on sunday shoes

dance the breakdown

so put on sunday shoes

come on dance the breakdown

madeline

in pictures by the sea

it's always there

it's always wrong

laugh

but it'll get you

wait and see
