wash away this desert town

do you remember when we were younger?
We used to think we were untouchable
but as we grew we learned to be smarter
and now we know there's no such thing as
untouchable
untouchable
we're not so 
untouchable
anymore

do you remember when you were younger?
you thought the earth spun way too fast
you said "why can't we slow down for just this summer?"
and now it's spinning way to slow for you so
slow
the earth is moving way too slow 
for you
slow
space just isn't growing fast enough
for you
we're just too
slow

i see the clouds
drowning out the light from the sun
and the only thing I think is
come and wash away this desert town
and it's getting darker
and the rain is falling down
and I can't help but say
please wash away this desert town

i remember all the things we used to say
from your rooftop in the summer
and all the games we used to play
before we jumped into the sky
remember all the ways you used to look into my eyes?
and all the ways you used to say the things that became lies?
so I know it's not in the way you looked at me
so I know it's not in the way you looked in me
it's all in the way you said
it's all in the way you said it
it's all in the way you said...

i see the clouds
drowning out the light from the sun
and the only thing I think is
come and wash away this desert town
and it's getting darker
and the rain is falling down
and I can't help but say
please wash away this desert town

so here's the rain
it can't wash your insides clean
but here's the rain
it'll douse your cigarette's flame
here's the wind
it'll blow your hair just the same
as the way he does when you're with him

maybe this will make you 
remember what you said
i can only hope, i guess
remember what you said?
So I hope
the alcohol leaves sores upon your porcelain lips
and it cuts across your teeth like the blade across my skin
maybe for once you'll remember, remember me
do you remember when we were younger?
we used to think we were untouchable
but as we grew, I learned you're a liar
and now I know there's no such thing as
untouchable
