The best are leaving

[Verse 1]
The best are leaving
They're leaving
Boarding the heavenly metro
Somewhere up there they wander
Warming their hands by starry fires
We will all die someday
Our bones will crumble in the ground
But I still keep this secret
Hidden in my trembling mouth

[Chorus]
We don't live here
Here we fly to visit
Our home is beyond this blue
That sleeps above our heads
We
Leaving
Fly home
Gleaming with white wings
Thumping in my ears like a metronome
Tell me
What will become of us?

[Verse 2]
Candles in windows flicker
Names on the lips of tired priests
Every farewell feels final
Every hello feels half-complete
I watch the rails keep shining
Straight through the clouds and rust
I know only one thing
Love
We’ll be just voices made of dust

[Chorus]
We don't live here
Here we fly to visit
Our home is beyond this blue
That sleeps above our heads
We
Leaving
Fly home
Gleaming with white wings
Thumping in my ears like a metronome
Tell me
What will become of us?

[Bridge]
Maybe we’re sparks in the dark
Maybe we’re echoes of light
Maybe we’re hands that let go
To finally hold what feels right (oh)
If every breath is a ticket
Folded and worn with use
Then when this heartbeat quiets
I’ll ride that train to you

[Chorus]
We don't live here
Here we fly to visit
Our home is beyond this blue
That sleeps above our heads
We
Leaving
Fly home
Gleaming with white wings
Thumping in my ears like a metronome
Tell me
What will become of us?
I know only one thing
We will be just voice and love
