You took the long way home
Told me it's something that I said to you
You wanna be alone
Your crystal ball said that's what you should do
So take your time
And I'll take mine
You look like something that I saw in a dream
But whenever you're here you turn around and leave
Like putting your knife in my back, but for you I think I'll bleed
For you I'll bleed
Your mother's dead and gone
You wait your turn because it's coming soon
And as the days roll by
All I can do is wait around with you
So take your time
And I'll take mine
But I don't know if we'll be fine
You look like something that I saw in a dream
But whenever you're here you turn around and leave
Like putting your knife in my back, but for you I think I'll bleed
For you I'll bleed

Some of my friends skipped town
They say that life's been beating them down
Feel's like I'm missing out
If I stick around
Another roll of film
Another empty bottle of pills
I should've thrown them out
But I choked them down because
Death ain't so bad when your life's been worse,
and you lost your reason to live, and it hurts
But you can't keep holding me down if I'm not around
Another ticking clock
Reminding me you're all that I've got
I watch the time go by
But my hands are tied
Feels like we're leaving the ground
But what goes up must come back down
Our light's been flickering out
And my darker side's been spinning me around
Now it's getting kinda late
I thought my mind was made
But I keep seeing you around
And it's so played out
What else can I say?
Just give me one more reason to stay
Say I'm not wasting time
But you can't, so goodbye
Feels like we're leaving the ground
But what goes up must come back down
Our light's been flickering out
But what goes up must come back down

Remember the time in your life
When it always felt like you could fly?
Now the feeling, it cuts like a knife
When it creeps in the back of your mind
Always creeping around in your mind
There are so many places to go
When you want to avoid being home
You can run, you can hide, til the day that you die
Just remember you'll do it alone
You'll be running and hiding alone
I've been holding on for something, looking for that silver line
You keep on saying that it's there, I guess I must be going blind
It's like holding all your weight on the edge of a knife
It's like putting all your faith in a one way ride
Like trying to fall asleep while you're waiting on someone to die
And it's hard keeping up with the change
When you don't recognize your own face
And I keep thinking back to that place
It's a feeling that I can't shake
I've been holding on for something, looking for that silver line
You keep on saying that it's there, I guess I must be going blind
And I keep thinking back to all those days we spent when things were find
I know there's something sweeter and I don't think I can say goodbye
It's like holding all your weight on the edge of a knife
It's like putting all your faith in a one way ride
Like trying to fall asleep while you're waiting on someone to die
