Welcome to The Underground
"I am proud that night after night and album after album, a mass of humanity I now refer to lovingly as the pop underground, come together and sing. Whether it's in theaters and concert venues around the world, in the privacy of our own homes or the constantly shifting landscape of social media, we are a scrappy tribe and we stand for something: Music that is found, shared and cared for despite access to traditional outlets; music that lives virally and through word of mouth; music that tells a story that people want to retell." - Andrew McMahon

young love, you're burning in the atmosphere
half a world, an ocean in between us
white flag i'm waving in the face of fear
giving up's the drug i'm never clean of

still you come around, still you come around
when the shelter breaks
easy getting warm in a burning building
easy getting there (?) when you live this way
when the shelter breaks
easy getting warm in a burning building
still you come around, you come around
when the shelter breaks

young heart, you're drifting with the satellites
long nights of watching from a distance
and i've seen the smoke and i've seen the light
when you're here it's hard to know the difference

still you come around, still you come around
when the shelter breaks
easy getting warm in a burning building
easy getting there (?) when you live this way
when the shelter breaks
easy getting warm in a burning building
still you come around, come around
when the shelter breaks

i am in here waiting, will you come and save me,
save me when the shelter breaks?
i am in here waiting, will you come and save me,
save me when the shelter breaks?
do you come around, still you come around
when the shelter breaks
easy getting warm in a burning building,
easy getting there when you live this way
when the shelter breaks
it's easy getting warm in a burning building
still you come around you come around
when the shelter breaks
still you come around you come around
when the shelter breaks
still you come around come around
when the shelter breaks
still you come around come around
when the shelter breaks

Can anyone help me with the third line? I'm trying to figure it up. I hear "giving up's a drug I'm/I'll never clean up/of" … not sure which it actually is and I really like the line so I want to figure it out!
