We’re swerving in and out of lanes with our coinciding pains.
|
Would you calm down please?
|
And though you say it’s not the case,
|
we’re full of irony and space, and you know it.
|
But oh you’ve known it all along.
|
You see this constant change in plans is tossed about in plastic hands.
|
Don’t you feel that?
|
And though we’re out here on our own, we’re a thousand miles from home.
|
We could make it, and we could take this in our hands.
|
We could fall between these lines if you would work with me.
|
I could pull you from this cellar; we could break these chains together.
|
And you’ll become just what you always meant to be.
|
From this darkness, we’re escaping as we’re climbing from the belly of the sea.
|
And all these battle lines are placed,
|
though their meaning’s been erased into silence.
|
So we stayed and stood our ground, though there was no one to be found.
|
We were so afraid, but we just stood on anyway.
|
Don’t you wait.
|
You know that you were made for this.
