lyrics

Not quite two years ago when we got started
Huddled together in the wind and rain on Echo Beach
You kissed me
As if there wasn't anyone around us
But you and I were two out of five thousand lonely hearts
Swaying in the dark

You held my hand and moved in tight
Our bodies bathed in the concert lights
Our skin so cold, our hearts so warm
Back then our intentions were so pure
And in those moments I was sure
That we could weather any storm

CHORUS
But now you're hiding us away
We die a little more each day
And you just look the other way
If we don't face up to it soon
The elephant that's in the room
Could be the end of me and you

There was a time you'd shout it from a mountain
Back then you told me that you didn't care who knew the truth
I trusted you
Now you keep asking me to keep things quiet
Making excuses, telling lies, pretending not to see
That you're losing me

CHORUS
'Cause now you're hiding us away
We die a little more each day
And you just look the other way
If we don't face up to it soon
The elephant that's in the room
Could be the end of me and you

I don't know who or what's to blame
But I know things can't stay the same
So don't pretend that nothing's changed
If we don't face up to it soon
The elephant that's in the room
Could be the end of me and, you...

CHORUS
Why are you hiding us away?
We die a little more each day
And you just look the other way
If we don't face up to it soon
The elephant that's in the room
Will be the end of me and you
