If there is any meaning
to the bond we have,
tell me now because I don't leave things as they are
Do you know long it's been since we first met
on that Summer day?

Lately it feels like there's little
meaning to playing this game again
Lately these feelings of emptiness
are surfacing when I'm left alone

**Chorus**
Ah, ahh! As I'm surrounded by the crowd
and the black sky above,
something painful wells up in my eyes
Now that the next song draws to it's ending,
I feel the world getting colder
or am I just getting older?
With you beside me, you sing and smile brightly
without any care
Yet another ballad to remind me that
I should be giving up the gun tonight

If there is any meaning
to the bond we have,
let me say it now because this shouldn't be one-sided
How many more years do we have left to live like this?
No, wait! Don't answer that question please

Why has the distance grown so much between us?
Why am I not content with what I have?
Why do I feel forlorn when love exists?

**Chorus**
Ah, ahh! As I'm surrounded by the crowd
and the black sky above,
something painful wells up in my heart
Now that the next song draws to it's ending,
I can feel the desire to break away from the world
With you beside me, singing and smiling brightly
I can't bring myself to be honest with myself
Yet another ballad to remind me that
I should be giving up the gun tonight


Endlessly, mindlessly repeating the motions
I shouldn't be lying to you,
hiding from you
I have to say this, even if it hurts us both

Ah, ahh! As I'm surrounded by the crowd
and the black sky above,
something painful is tucked in the back of my mind
I'm very sorry for what I'm about to say

**Chorus**
Ah, ahh! The city looks so small from where we are
Everything in this world beautiful, yet has no depth
The encore is now over and we can go home
“Listen to what I have to say.”
With your hand in mine, you give me a knowing look
There's no turning back
I'm giving up the gun as
we sat in darkness with Autumn's chill enveloping us
