The Boy Who Could Fly
Pierce the Veil Lyrics

Freeze
Stop everything that you are doing and listen to me.

It's time to take you home
It's getting late, and I need to make sure you get home safely.

it feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your door.
Although it feels like the night is still young, I made a promise to make sure you get home safely, and I intend to fulfill that promise.

Now our lips are numb!
We've been drinking and kissing, and now our lips feel numb.

As we walk, sharing warm alcohol
While we walk, we are sharing and drinking warm alcohol together.

That kiss tastes like summer.
Our kiss is sweet, and it reminds me of the warmth and happiness of summertime.

I hope you like the stars I stole for you
I hope you appreciate the effort I put into trying to make you happy by stealing the stars for you.

One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue.
I got you one hundred million twinkle lights that shine bright in neon blue for you to enjoy.

I'll be the brightest someday!
One day, I'll be the brightest light in your life.

Don't rain on my parade, it's gonna glow in the dark.
Don't ruin what I have going for me right now because I see a bright future ahead.

I like it better when you can't keep warm.
I like it better when you rely on me to keep you warm and safe.

Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
Please don't ruin this perfect moment that we have going on right now.

The boy on the blue moon dreams of sun.
The boy on the blue moon is dreaming of finding and experiencing the warmth of the sun.

Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky,
The rain is falling down heavily and violently.

we bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways.
Our feelings are so intense, they are spilling out of us like paint.

And I ask myself, why do I still pray?
I am questioning why I still hold onto hope and faith.

When will it end? And who fucking cares?
I'm wondering when it will all be over, and I'm starting not to care anymore.

I swear to God I did what I could.
I am telling you that I tried my best.

I practically begged you, I pretended everything was fine.
I pleaded with you and tried to make it seem like everything was okay.

A soul sacrifice, an American nightmare.
This was a terrible sacrifice for me to make, and it feels like a nightmare.

I'd rather be dead.
I would rather die than continue to feel the way that I do.

The boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head.
The boy on the blue moon is dealing with something that feels like a never-ending nightmare inside of his head.

I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom,
I'll bet you that as you are running to the bathroom, you are still beautiful.

you barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you.
Even though you haven't been drinking for long, your beauty shines through.

You died in California by the sulfur and the sea.
You passed away in California by the ocean and the smell of sulfur.

I guess I never should have loved you,
I suppose I should have never loved you.

but I do forever 'cause you loved me.
But I will always love you because you loved me.

And I break my glasses as I fall in the street!
I am falling apart and everything is coming crashing down.

If you were gonna leave this world how could it be without me?
I can't imagine how you could leave this world without me by your side.

Now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste,
Even though the memories of our time together remain, it all feels tasteless and meaningless.

'cause without you there is no me.
Without you, I am nothing.

There's no me at all.
I no longer exist without you.

Sometimes love dies like a dog.
Love can sometimes feel like it dies quickly and without any warning.

(Why don't we just let this one take care of itself?)
Maybe we should just let things play out naturally and let the universe take care of the outcome.

I'm losing a perfect thing, a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
I am losing something that was once perfect, and it hurts deeply.
