lyrics

There's a way a body breaks down
When y’ learn a love ain't gonna last
Even as a body melts into the floor
This too shall pass

War is over if you want it
Hope is dark and deep and vast
And it's frightening how powerful we are
This too shall pass

There's a day that's bright and perfect
Your love is lying in the sun
And we're all gonna die but nothing passes away
Love won't be undone

System’s bloodied up and broken
It's a-headin' for a crash
That's a threat but honey it's a promise too
This too shall pass

Remember Time, it ain't a straight line
More like a shattered looking-glass
And the Love we made is never really gone
Time don't work like that

There's a day that's bright and perfect
Your love is lying in the grass
And the universe is humming along
This too shall pass

And a circle has no ending
So you never make it home
But yer' perfect day is still alive somewhere
And you are not alone

Yeah that perfect day is still alive somewhere
And you are not alone
