July Talk - The News Lyrics

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

Gimme 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

Gimme 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 is hard to define
And that everything that's true is ours to find
