Lose Ourselves Tonight

There's a place in this town where all my ghosts like to go
Swapping tales of anguish and the wars they fought long ago
They bring it all to the surface for everyone to see
Making their living by sharing every shattered piece of me

Close your eyes ... Drown the pain away
Living in the dream that there will be better days
Close your eyes ... Forget every whispered word
Some things were never meant to be heard
Close your eyes and hold on tight
We're going to lose ourselves tonight

There's a place in your dreams where I love to sleep
Lying amidst the pillows of thought, praying I'm the one you keep
I lock myself in your most beautiful reality
Clinging to the places you'll never wish to leave

Close your eyes ... Drown the pain away
Living in the dream that there will be better days
Close your eyes ... Forget every whispered word
Some things were never meant to be heard
Close your eyes and hold on tight
We're going to lose ourselves tonight

Walking alone through these streets at night
Knowing deep inside that this could never be right
I just let my ghosts march on to their next fight
As I wander toward the warmth of your light

There's a place in my heart that will never let this fade
The pain of my ghosts and the love that was somehow overplayed
And I close my eyes to sink deep into the memories
Of everything I'd said, everywhere I'd been, and everything I'd wished I could be

Close your eyes ... Drown the pain away
Living in the dream that there will be better days
Close your eyes ... Forget every whispered word
Some things were never meant to be heard
Close your eyes and hold on tight
We're going to lose ourselves tonight
