Civil Twilight - Sweet Resistance Lyrics

Sweet resistance
Sweet resistance

We can't grow
Without getting old
We can't purchase
Bravery with gold
All of the dreams that we faced
Before the morning glow
Need darkness before they show

Comfort is overrated
Give me something faded
I've spent my life asleep
I want sweet resistance
(That's what I want)
Sweet resistance

I spent the night
Outside your door
In the darkest evening
And in the morning,
You pushed me away
And gave me no reason

But all of the ways that you run,
All of the ways
That you keep it going,
I can't get enough

'Cause when all is said and done,
You can lay me down
On a bed of sun
And I will accept my fate
As I pass through that gate
And all of the reasons
That I felt alive in the first place
Will be in the next age
As I turn that page
Into another beautiful stage
Of sweet resistance
Sweet resistance

Comfort is overrated
Give me something faded
Ooh, ooh, ooh

'Cause when all is said and done,
You can lay me down
On a bed of sun
And I will accept my fate
As I pass through that gate
And all of the reasons
That I felt alive in the first place
I will see your face

Sweet resistance
Sweet resistance
Ooh, ooh, ooh
