Here's the next song, everyone! I actually wanted to use this one for a while now, but I've been listening too so many other songs, I just never got around to it until now :p. I don't own the song, band, lyrics, or video. Enjoy, and thanks for reading (and listening, of course)!
She got down,
On hands and knees,
One ear against the ground,
Holding her breath to hear something,
But the dirt made not a sound, tonight.
........
Echoes of songs still lurk,
On distant foreign shores,
Where we dance just to please the gods,
That only ask for more,
And so it goes.
But still we give
Ourselves to this,
We can't spend our lives,
Waiting to live.

On cold nights,
In a prayer for dawn.
But daylight,
Isn't what she wants.
The concrete,
Calls my name again.
I'm falling,
Through the cracks I slip~.
.....
The postcard says,
"Wish you were here."
But I'd rather I was there,
Holding onto the simple things,
Before they disappear,
That's what I meant.
But that was then,
(Hey)
And this is now.
(Hey)
I'll make it up to you somehow.

On cold nights,
In a prayer for dawn.
But daylight,
Isn't what she wants.
The concrete,
Calls my name again.
I'm falling,
Through the cracks I slip~.
.....
A destination,
A fading smile.
Another station,
Another mile.
Another day gone,
But I swore that I will,
Be there before dawn,
So be there, I will~.
......
She got down,
On hands and knees,
One ear against the ground,
Holding her breath to hear something,
Anything at all.
The dirt whispered,
"Child, I'm coming home."

On cold nights,
In a prayer for dawn.
But daylight,
Isn't what she wants.
The concrete,
Calls my name again.
I'm falling,
Through the cracks I slip~
I slip~
Through the cracks I slip.
(Through the cracks I slip)
Through the cracks I slip~.
.....

For those of you wondering why I type out every single word, even if it's a repeating line, here's my answers:
1. It makes this story unique.
2. It makes this story fun to type.
3. I want to.
4. I don't believe in typing out:
*Chorus*, ......(x1,2,3~)
5. Reason for number four: I think it's boring, and kinda cheap for this story.
