lyrics

It's hard to tell when I lost my edge
And I thought for a moment you were there
But you were just a ghost
Couldn't see you in the light
The two of us were there

And there was no one else
You were pulling on my arms again
I never meant to say all those things
And it wasn't just the little things it was everything
You were everything
And now I'm powerless
I'm powerless to you

And I'll go and reach
My vision of you has turned inside out
I'll go and dream but I want to see you now
Your sound fading out of range right now
Our place time, it seemed so sound
(Have you found someone else)
It looks sustained, I'm not that way
I did not

Now I'm a mess
Coalesced
It's a miracle I'm not dead
I'm a fool
It's the price I'd pay for you
I'd do this everything
Yeah I'd tear myself in two
This war, what a stench
Yeah it's driving me inside
You see, I believe
In one thing, it's the truth
When I dream we're both there
Yeah I see us together
I hope you do to

I wish I would've done more
But we should've known
This thing, so good, would be so frail
If it takes my life
I'll see you again

I just had the most vivid dream
You were cold and scared
There was thundering overhead
God I wish I was by your side
To hold, to see, in the flood
When you die

Take my things and take my wealth
Take my shoes you might as well
I'm on my own with no one else
I've my thoughts, I've got some friends
I've got my skills, I'm down to that
And all your faith, between you and me
It's all bullshit

In all our time
We all want change
We all sit down and complain
But real change comes down to this
You have to see the world through someone else
Once you go there you can never get back

Take my car and take my home
They're plastic things I'll let them go
You got to halves that don't make a whole
You got your thoughts you got your soul

Spend your time and picks your fights
The hell with the rest it's not their life

Just try and live your life on your terms
You'll learn to forgive and let it be
Embrace change not blind faith
You've got the will
You've got a chance
Play your part, don't choose your wealth
There comes a time, when you realize
Where you live isn't all there is
It hits you cold, down to the core
There's a world outside your door
Don't lose yourself in all the mess
You got the will you can handle this
Take the time with the ones you love
When they're gone it was never enough
With all your heart and all your strength
Choose your path, do the best you can
Choose your path, do the best you can
