As if on cue They lit a firework The sky reeled back And I ran fast to get to you I think you knew Before the war began What loving to run towards Something can do to a man Fall over the edge Learn to live while falling Every life is a path worth following When you put it into words It's comfortingly bland There's so little left to understand When we're strung up, hanging From the knots we've allowed We call up our angels to cut us down If you could be proud of anything you've done What would it be? Then you disappear and we are up in the clouds I feel the tension shock right through my body I am wide awake Trippin' meant for me I thought one day I thought I'd find a hole In my own backyard I'd never seen before Follow it down Underneath that fence Come back up on the other side Live another life Break down the door, it's yours for the taking I held it back until you stopped asking My eyes are blurred, the clock is ticking I'm coming up short in a life worth nothing I hear women in my head with ordinary names That ring like magic to somehow function in my brain Your hands were warm though you came in from the cold I took one and held it and suddenly I started to shake Shake Shake Sha-ake I feel it break, I feel the weight Of anger, pain and sorrow Breaking over me The flags are raised We walk with no goodbyes And no tomorrows This is destiny Memories of the best regrets I played my song in every single rest Every note of the symphony Mend the fence with the best of grace And it's pleasantries to the bottom of the page I'm sorry
As if on cue
They lit a firework
The sky reeled back
And I ran fast to get to you
I think you knew
Before the war began
What loving to run towards
Something can do to a man
Fall over the edge
Learn to live while falling
Every life is a path worth following
When you put it into words
It's comfortingly bland
There's so little left to understand
When we're strung up, hanging
From the knots we've allowed
We call up our angels to cut us down
If you could be proud of anything you've done
What would it be?
Then you disappear and we are up in the clouds
I feel the tension shock right through my body
I am wide awake
Trippin' meant for me
I thought one day
I thought I'd find a hole
In my own backyard
I'd never seen before
Follow it down
Underneath that fence
Come back up on the other side
Live another life
Break down the door, it's yours for the taking
I held it back until you stopped asking
My eyes are blurred, the clock is ticking
I'm coming up short in a life worth nothing
I hear women in my head with ordinary names
That ring like magic to somehow function in my brain
Your hands were warm though you came in from the cold
I took one and held it and suddenly I started to shake
Shake
Shake
Sha-ake
I feel it break, I feel the weight
Of anger, pain and sorrow
Breaking over me
The flags are raised
We walk with no goodbyes
And no tomorrows
This is destiny
Memories of the best regrets
I played my song in every single rest
Every note of the symphony
Mend the fence with the best of grace
And it's pleasantries to the bottom of the page
I'm sorry
