It's time to make this count The time is running out Before we meet the ground I want to make this last I want to be the sound That sets your heart on fire I'm letting it all go I've got just one life to live And I'm not wasting it on this I know something you don't Chasing money your whole life Will never make you feel alive If I don't take this chance I know that I'll regret it For the rest of my life (I've spent so much time trying to find how it feels to be alive) And now you're gonna tell me I'm doing something wrong I've seen what it did to you And I know that I don't Want to end up the same way And I know that I don't Have any idea what I should say To make you happy So I won't say anything You're never happy So I won't Say anything

There is a war Going on all around you Everywhere you turn your head And as all the bullets fly It's clear none of us are Getting out of here alive Unpredictable I can't explain it why You'd go and hide From a world you left far behind You've got to know the truth Life means nothing without Something inside you And if the gunshots are Keeping you awake I will be the one Who is there to sing you to sleep So hold on And never again will you feel Like you're the only one As flames light up the sky You'll find your way back home They'll drag you out When your heart stops beating Down with the kill Now you're there for the feeding Now I know what it's like on the inside So sever the darkness From the light in your soul Take out your aggression Like there's no where else for it to go Cause you know Life's not much If you're not willing to fight And if the gunshots are Keeping you awake I will be the one Who is there to sing you to sleep So hold on And never again will you feel Like you're the only one As flames light up the sky You'll find your way back home And if the gunshots are Keeping you awake I will be the one Who is there to sing you to sleep So hold on And never again will you feel Like you're the only one As flames light up the sky You'll find your way back home And without fear Now they've lost every bit Of control they had over you And without you they've lost it all So rise up, and break free

Now I know What you're about to say Cause you always Say the same things When you disagree And it doesn't Make any sense to me Why I'd listen to you Or anyone else Who doesn't know Where I've been Or what I want Nobody knows that but me What I want Nobody knows that but me And I won't Be coming back this way Go on and seek out Your own destiny Instead of blinding me From what I want Nobody knows that but me What I want No one can decide that, but me Don't ever second guess yourself Not for a second You're the only one Who knows what you need And if that means You've got to say goodbye Well that's just how it's got to be Cause these good old days are priceless And that's why they fade so fast If this is all that I will ever have Then I'll have to make them last Because I'm the one Drawing in these checkered lines You're just a pawn in this game I don't care What you're looking for out there We're all chasing dreams But somehow I've come to find That I'm always two steps behind

So Far to Go 02:03
Can't believe all the Time that I have wasted Thinking my mind's gone But I keep on erasing These things that I wrote down That's if I'm lucky enough To catch them flying out Of my head but that's Where the problem is Just take one or two But if you do They'll fly right out the Window for a better view So I don't need this Maybe you do If this is what you'd choose Hold your head up Like you're gonna forget it Cause soon they're gonna regret they ever said it Like the last of the leaves We'll sweep the missing things away You put the keys right in my hand But was I smart enough to go Was I smart enough to go I hate the look that's on your face So why am I backing out so slow I've got so far to go But was I smart enough to Go away Not to follow the signs Or the things that you say Neither backwards nor broken Means a thing until the end But was this rope too long Or have I been gone This whole time, and I've been Waiting to be the backlash Waiting to see the comeback You put the keys right in my hand But was I smart enough to go Was I smart enough to go I hate the look that's on your face So why am I backing out so slow I've got so far to go
