It’s been a while since I’ve looked into your face I’ve shed a couple tears on our grave And these memories they all mean something new And these memories, they don’t need you. I was looking for a way back home But there’s no breadcrumbs, on this road I’m just a fool, I’m falling out of the blue For just a moment My aim was True It goes on and on and twists and turns These lessons that we never learned When burning bridges light the way To the places that we never stayed Don’t turn around, you can’t stop now Till it’s quiet Then we can scream into the wind You know I’m running through the streets tonight And I’m burning up my alibis I’m turning back into who I was Into the man I’ve always been And I’m standing on my own two feet This time I’m picking up the world with me Because those troubled times are so far behind I was looking for a way back home But there’s just bloodstains, on this road I’m just a fool I’m falling out of the blue For just a moment My aim was True It goes on and on and twists and turns These lessons that we never learned When burning bridges light the way To the places that we never stayed Don’t turn around, you can’t stop now Till it’s quiet Then we can scream into the wind In this silence I can hear you In this silence I can see you In this silence I can feel you In my mind

Please believe I don’t ever want to be the reason That you can’t sleep at night But don’t you know that lately I’ve been, wrestling with my demons I keep them tucked between my teeth And they scream so loud that I can’t breathe. I can bite my lip and hold my tongue Resist the urge to cut and run away Can’t you see I’m fine? I’ve just lost my mind It hasn’t done me much good these days. That’s right I’m coming down tonight That’s right I’m on the other side of hope When it’s gone, it’s gone I’ll race you down to the bottom Bottom, yeah. My motivation, is a fear of standing still, That this racing heart will stop in this very spot And protest in the face of A feeling That there’s some joke that I’m not in on That there’s a secret language spoken by the general population. Well, I’m mute - I’m deaf - I’m blind - I’m dumb. This world it’s got me by the tongue again. Let’s pretend I’m fine cuz I don’t mind If you want to see just how far I can bend. That’s right I’m coming down tonight That’s right I’m on the other side of hope When it’s gone, it’s gone I’ll race you down to the bottom Bottom, yeah.

Nineteen with the radio on Spun out in the back of her car Still drunk from the night before, I took it a little too far But ten years on, your still not gone And I know you’re watching me From the rearview mirror. Walk me through these photographs The parts of life you can’t get back The city lights won’t die tonight And the world it comes alive But I go on and on in my mind It’s a place I know so fucking well I get stuck there all the time These stars have seen The best and worst of me Because I’m the lonely one And the sun Never shined on me Come inside this worlds getting cold We ain’t doing a thing out in this rain Well I’m so sick of fighting everything in my life and It gets so frightening the things you need Are the things you throw a way The things you throw away These stars have seen The best and worst of me Because I’m the lonely one And the sun Never shined on me I’ve gotta get control, I’ve gotta get control I’ve never had control I’ve gotta get control, I’ve gotta get control I’ve never had control Nineteen with the radio on Spun out in the back of her car Still drunk from the night before, I took it a little too far But ten years on, your still not gone And I know you’re watching me From the rearview mirror. We can’t go back We can’t unwind these ties that bind We can hold on to The things, that, guided our lives
