Northern Downpour
Panic! at the Disco Lyrics

If all our life is but a dream
The possibility that our existence is nothing more than a fantasy

Fantastic posing greed
A superficial appreciation for material possessions

Then we should feed our jewelery to the sea
It would be better to relinquish our vain objects to the ocean

For diamonds do appear to be
Some view diamonds as

Just like broken glass to me
Equivalent to shattered fragments

And then she said she can't believe
She expressed skepticism

Genius only comes along
Brilliance is erratic

In storms of fabled foreign tongues
Emerging from foreign, legendary language

Tripping eyes, and flooded lungs
Eyes are puzzled and lungs overwhelmed

Northern downpour sends its love
The Northern rainstorm sends its affection

Hey moon, please forget to fall down
Requesting the moon to refrain from diminishing

Hey moon, don't you go down
Imploring the moon to remain in the sky

Sugarcane in the easy mornin'
Sweetness in the tranquil morning

Weather-vanes my one and lonely
The only companion is the rotating wind direction indicator

The ink is running toward the page
Ink illustrates the passage of time on the paper

It's chasin' off the days
Erasing the passing time

Look back at both feet
Remember the steps taken in previous times

And that winding knee
And the revolutionary decision

I missed your skin when you were east
I longed for your touch when you were physically distant

You clicked your heels and wished for me
You wanted me, prompting the iconic gesture

Through playful lips made of yarn
Silly words, fashioned from fibers

That fragile Capricorn
The vulnerable Goat

Unraveled words like moths upon old scarves
Loose language like moths disquieting discarded fabrics

I know the world's a broken bone
The globe is a fractured entity

But melt your headaches, call it home
Find comfort in lessening the tension

You are at the top of my lungs
You are the pinnacle of my passion

Drawn to the ones who never yawn
Enticed by those without idle boredom
