Dust Storm Lyrics

[Verse 1] Pictures came back from Mars, a new golden age we're told Mars had rivers, lakes, and seas but life never seem to take hold And in the emptiness my mind goes back to you [Verse 2] We live beneath, we live above and we live below All of us next to each other, but so utterly alone And we were in this all together, now we're on our own [Chorus] And you learn tenderness is essential And you learn the only thing I know Is how we hold each other right now [Verse 3] Make a deal with someone new, but it's too scary to ignore It won't dent my isolation, and we change what we're looking for Still, we've learned what's worth our time and what's a bore [Chorus] And you learn tenderness is essential And you learn the only thing I know Is how we hold each other right now [Breakdown] Like a dust storm We got caught I came out with the balance of an astronaut Meet me in the garden by the road, and we'll drive up the coast I've been sleepwalking all year, but I didn't give up this ghost And it all seems like we've been so alone And the veil lifts, death we lived in No more proxies and no more stand-ins, skies open up [Chorus] The only thing I know is how we hold each other right now Ooh, the only thing I know is how we hold each other right now .
