under the landslide

We're too young to be confused
We're too old to be amused
Would you lean on me if you had to lean on something?
Would you?
It's too cold to catch a fire
Lay our burdens on the pyre
Maybe we could make up an answer to their questions,
Before they do

They'll do what they've been told
Under the landslide
We'll pave our way with gold
Under the moonlight
Rain washed away the coals
Turned all the red white
We'd never be at home
Under the landslide

So long,
Where did you go?
Turn around and say hello
Would you see through me if you had to see through something?
Would you?
Then again i'd see you smile
Fix this heart just for a while
Oh,
If we could make up an answer to those questions,
Would you?

They'll do what they've been told
Under the landslide
We'll pave our way with gold
Under the moonlight
Rain washed away the coals
Turned all the red white
We'd never be at home
Under the landslide
