Lyrics The News - July Talk

The News

If only everything that happened in our dreams were true
And nothing bad could ever happen to you
When we feel too much, we’d just wake up
And all the longing to belong would always be enough
Give me context, without context, everything is true
Only nothing that happens only happens to you
If the news should ever break our way
Would we still hear the truth of someone that’s been left behind?
And if truth should ever be unkind
Would we still know that everything that’s true is by design
And that everything that’s true is ours to find?
I woke up, I was the same, but all my dreams had died
What fucking happened?
Guess everyone who spoke in tongues had lied
In the lobby, watched the dawning of a different side
Give me context, without context, everything is true
Besides, nothing that happens only happens to you
If the news should ever break our way
Would we still hear the truth of someone that’s been left behind?
And if truth should ever be unclear
Would we still know that everything that’s fair is hard to hear
And that everything breaks down in love and fear?
Everything that happens
Everything that happens
Everything that happens
If the news should ever be unkind
Would we still know that everything that’s true is by design
And that everything that’s true’s hard to define
And that everything that’s true is ours to find?
