It'll all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times."

We Are What We Have Lost (One Way Street)

"There's a line that runs through everything,
And the heart feels it.

But the line runs through everything,
Underlines."
