As we descend.
for what awaits us we have no clue.
Or if we’ll stand on our own two feet again.
If this song should be my last, I’ll make it true.
I’ll make it stronger, a timeless tune.
Turning hours into seconds, days flow into weeks,
As the months becomes the years, just tell me that you’ll keep
Your promise to me and never give up on yourself.
As the days slowly get longer, and the pills no longer help
you fall asleep
watch the pictures in your eyes.
Rewind, you’re searching for a sign.
All these patterns they disappear and pull me through the past.
Now I’m standing in Chicago, outside on the street,
And you’re telling me you’re sorry, like you actually believe;
That this has a happy ending.
Did you feel the pattern start?
Did that heart of yours come open?
Did you feel it fall apart?
I watched you Fall.
I live in constant fear.
I’ve grown so cavalier.
Am I losing my mind?
I’m just dying to sleep.
At the end of the day I know tomorrow repeats.

Let me expose you.
Wipe your damages away.
Let’s smooth this plaster.
Try our best to leave this place.
We tried, we tried.
Our best to leave this place.
We tried, we tried.
To clear this slate again.
For you to find your way
For you to forget the pain.
I’ll stay up all night and hold my breath until.
For you to find your way
For you to forget the pain.
I’ll stay up all night and hold my breath until.
Well I’ll stay for one more night.
In silence by your side.
We’ll see just where the night will take us.
I swear to god the light will break us down.
This is where I belong.
And I should be moving on.
We both know that it’s wrong.
It’s wrong,
It’s wrong,
It’s wrong.
For you to find your way
For you to forget the pain.
I’ll stay up all night and hold my breath until.
Well I’ll stay for one more night.
In silence by your side.
We’ll see just where the night will take us.
I swear to god the light will break us down.
Well I know just what it’s like.
To lay awake all night.
Most days I often try to hide these things by acting happy.
And I’ve tried to chase these dreams.
But they just weren’t what they seemed.
I drink a fifth to deal with it and I will see tomorrow.
We tried, we tried.
Our best to leave this place.
We tried, we tried.
To clear this slate again.

Hold on for one more morning.
Hold on for one more spring.
Hold on for drunken nights or what it is that keeps you breathing
Somehow we’ve lost this compass,
Somehow we’ve lost our way.
Back and forth,
In and out and I can’t keep myself from (Drifting)
In and out of the past few years.
I Idly disappear.
Might I found the root of the problem.
Perhaps your warmth would still be here.
Hold on for one more morning.
Hold on for one more spring.
Hold on for drunken nights or what it is that keeps you breathing
Somehow we’ve lost this compass,
Somehow we’ve lost our way.
Back and forth,
In and out and I can’t keep myself from (Drifting)
Now I watch over shoulders.
Look twice while crossing streets.
I often entertain the thought of how we spent that spring.
New England on the water,
The sunlight, touch your skin.
You sat close by my side to break the wind.
So what’s the point of us going here?
Why even interfere
Had I not fucked it all up.
Maybe your love would still be here.
Hold on for one more morning.
Hold on for one more spring.
Hold on for drunken nights or what it is that keeps you breathing
Somehow we’ve lost this compass,
Somehow we’ve lost our way.
Back and forth,
In and out and I can’t keep myself from (Drifting)
New England on the water.
The sun light, touch your skin.
And I can’t keep myself from drifting on.
Hold on,
Just keep breathing.
Hold on for one more morning.
Hold on for one more spring.
Hold on for drunken nights or what it is that keeps you breathing
Somehow we’ve lost this compass,
Somehow we’ve lost our way.
Back and forth,
In and out and I can’t keep myself from (Drifting)

We sail along.
And on,
and on,
and on.
Where have we been?
It’s in between,
The subtle things and what we mean.
What we mean.
And we say just what we mean.
What we say without a thought or breath right in between.
I often wonder,
Or is this really it for me?
I want to know.
I often wonder.
How long can I hold my breath?
How long can I hold my breath?
(I’ve done all I can)
How long can I hold my breath?
(I’ve done all I can)
the distance in between,
and I hope you’re listening.
(I often wonder)
But you’re gone and on your way,
And I know you’re not listening to me.
I often wonder.
I often wonder.
When you hear this song,
Will you sing along?
Or will you turn it off?
And walk away.
Or maybe you could stay?
How long can I hold my breath?
(I’ve done all I can)
How long can I hold my breath?
(vie done all I can)
the distance in between,
and I hope you’re listening.
(I often wonder)
But you’re gone and on your way,
And I know you’re not listening to me.
I often wonder.
I often wonder.
