Is this story old
Or did it just get pushed back again for later
I’m waiting for a chance to be untied
I’m waiting for a chance to save my life
Will I ever warm up to you
Or will it just be another year of winter
I’m waiting for a chance to just unwind
I’m waiting for a chance to be, a chance to be
Alive and home

I could have tried to win back your love again
But no matter how great the song it dies in the end
So turn it up past eleven
You know you’re drowning me out so I don’t think it’s volume enough
It seems to be that you’re deafened
Is it a reflex or too many years lived too loud
With every compliment unsaid
You tune them out, become your own fan
And I’d never think you would ever lead to
Making life your death
Well now I can’t wait for this chance to break
Because we’re hanging on a thread
You could alleviate or you could pass away
But you just take what’s less complex
So I should take this cue
Take a step away from you
Never hear another word that you said
Because this life is mine
And you’re wasting all our time
Just another thing you’ll do when you’re dead
Spent too much time on you, now I had enough
Yeah you’re dragging me down
But the words we create are rising up
Through the airwaves
Yeah I would call you in high school but now all I call is your bluff
You pay your lovers in heartache
I’ll burn your bridge just to leave you stranded with that crowd
And keep them with you till the end

It’s so cliché but I most likely think we’ll drown
I was the one to build you up when the world would bring you down
Time spent on promises, I won’t take your excuse
Cuz I don’t have life to lose
Set my soaring sails from you and travel on
We keep our lives on track
With eyes turned halfway back
Though I seem to keep my back turned from what I’ve found
Some names and faces keep me always down
But I’m sure I won’t see you around
Now you’re just a face in the crowd
Yeah it’s no secret, honesty’s my only virtue second to none
But as far as what I’m thinking, all things said I’m gonna bite my tongue
Maybe that’s the downturn
And I try to keep this under wraps but it tears my heart and soul
When you call this dream absurd
As we leave you hanging onto every word
You’re gonna make my head burn
Trying not to fear the answer
It’s never worth the stress I’ve seen
My questions set to reverb
We keep our lives on track
With eyes turned halfway back
Though I seem to keep my back turned from what I’ve found
Some names and faces keep me always down
But I’m sure I won’t see you around
Now you’re just a face in the crowd

You got it all
My life is just a play and we pick it up show to show
But now your friends say they haven’t seen you in a week
You’re keeping your secrets down but we oughta know
And you got
The vaccine to the curse that’s been killing me
I live dreams to be somebody else
And I breathe denial like you breathe lies
So we both end up in hell
The story goes like
Fuck the fakeness
We’re gonna make this count for once
Close my ears and just scream
Cuz she just wants to be
Ordinary
But I think otherwise
Cuz no matter where we go
We’ll never know why she changed her mind
Ordinary
A heart beat out of time
And no matter where we go
We’ll never know how she changed our life
So where’d you go
You dried those tears away
And then drowned in the shallow life we made
The ideals you tried to live by
Form the fading views of life we’ll never get right
Keep me honest
Break your promise
Kids like us kill my hope for this scene
When we turn out to be

Time keeps me standing still
I wanna take a chance though I’m not sure
I’m dreaming if I ever will
Life seems to wear me thin
I really wanna take the world by storm
I’m dreaming if I ever win
Your face just seems to complicate
Back to basics then
Who’s running this place inside my head
It’s not like anybody else knows
It’s not like anybody else knows
All I wanted was honesty for a minute
Though I watched every second as they go
It’s not like anybody else knows
It’s not like anybody else knows
But time’s gonna slit my throat again
no use talking answers in the end so
nice to know ya
thats all that we said and still
i think about how time goes on without you
I wanna live a greater story
But I’m so full of hate it’s boring
We’re never gonna learn this way so
Easy to say move on and let go
I gotta get a hold on anger
But life is getting old and stranger
We’re never gonna leave this place so
Easy to stay too long now let’s go
I clearly just don’t expect defeat
You can’t get someone down who’s dead already
And that’s me
These long years of retreat and deceit
It couldn’t change me
I think it’s kinda funny now
