QUEENSTOWN (Live)

[Intro] [muted electric guitar, electronic percussion] [Verse 1] [clean electric guitar, synth bass enters] Postcard mountains, real cold hands Tour bus filling in the rented plans Neon jackets, thrill seeker grams Jump off a bridge just to feel again Down the street a late shift sighs Someone counts tips under yellow lights I'm not rich enough to waste the day Not broke enough to look away [Pre-Chorus] [synth pads swell, drums build] Breathe in, breathe out, let the world go wild This lake can hold a mirror this clear Maybe it can hold my fear [Chorus] [full band, distorted guitar, driving drums] Queenstown, don't let me come down I'm on the edge of the lake right now Heart's too loud in a quiet place I feel brand new in the frozen air Queenstown, keep that blue light on I'm not healed but I'm moving on If I fall let the mountain catch I'm alive in the afterflash [guitar riff] At the edge of the lake At the edge of the lake I don't break, I don't break At the edge of the lake (take it back) At the edge of the lake (take it back) I don't break, I don't break [Verse 2] [drums drop to electronic beat, muted guitar] Rich kids toasting a glass from bar Locals drive home in a battered car A couple kisses by the waterline I taste regret like a cheap red wine Snow on peaks like white hot flame Makes your problems feel small then named I came for thrill, I stayed for truth For the way this town strips you loose No perfect speech, no perfect plan Just a human heart doing what it can Tell the sky I'm trying [Chorus] [full band] Queenstown, don't let me come down I'm on the edge of the lake right now Heart's too loud in a quiet place I feel brand new in the frozen air Queenstown, keep that blue light on I'm not healed but I'm moving on If I fall let the mountain catch I'm alive in the afterflash [Bridge] [drums drop out, atmospheric pads, clean guitar] I thought I needed noise to feel alive The silence hits deeper than the dive So I stand still and let it go Teach my bones what hope can hold [Guitar Solo] [distorted lead guitar, heavy drums] [Chorus] [full band] Queenstown, don't let me come down I'm on the edge of the lake right now (right now) Heart's too loud in a quiet place I feel brand new in the frozen air Queenstown, keep that blue light on I'm not healed but I'm moving on If I fall let the mountain catch I'm alive in the afterflash [Outro] [guitar riff, electronic percussion] At the edge of the lake (take it back) At the edge of the lake (take it back) At the edge of the lake (take it back) At the edge of the lake
