Pictures came back from Mars
A new Golden Age we're told
Mars had rivers, lakes, and seas
But life never seemed to take hold
And in the emptiness my mind goes back to you
We live beneath
We live above and we live below
All of us next to each other
But so utterly alone
When we were in this all together now we're on our own
And you learn
Tenderness is essential
And you learn
The only thing I know is how we hold each other right now
Make a deal with someone new
But it's too scary to ignore
It won't dent my isolation and we change what we're looking for
Still we've learned what's worth our time and what's a bore
And you learn
Tenderness is essential
And you learn
The only thing I know is how we hold each other right now
Like a dust storm
We got caught
I came out with the balance of an astronaut
Meet me in the garden by the road and we'll drive up the coast
I've been sleepwalking all year but I didn't give up this ghost
And it all seems like we've been so alone
And the veil lifts on the death we lived in
No more proxies and no more stand-ins
Skies open up
The only thing I know is how we hold each other right now
The only thing I know is how we hold each other right now
