I used to long to meet a heroic end while I was still young Back when I was a teen The night skyline’s prettier as it fades into the distance If I took the plunge, it’d be into the lights of other people’s lives And that’s what’s probably Stopped me countless times by now We all go back to memories of being loved
Can’t even answer super simple YES or NOs I just go, “Uh, um, so…” I freaking hate it Even if I do it quietly I just wanna say it in my own words I wanna hear it in your words I’ll never run out of words to live by
To save myself any regret if I lose my ability to speak tomorrow I wanna tell the truth
Fallen leaves, prancing in the breeze. Memories, backstabbing me The branches can’t bounce back, and I’ll never look at them again Knowing there were roots where I fell on the ground Is making my heart seethe even more this winter
We both got through it, I hope We take all of it, take the truth deep down in our eyes And accept it, conceal it without revealing anything to each other Being by your side proves it My accompaniment’s a heartbeat. We all start out the same way
I could scoop up and look at the regrets piled up at my feet But just realized they all make me feel like crying Still, if I’m going to stay alive, there’s no day but today
I made it through all the different seasons And you made it to today in that body, too
No fresh start for me. I just keep walking through the contiguous days No acting, no pretending, just being my genuine self
Words to live by Music to live by I’ll never run out of them
To save myself any regret if I lose my ability to speak tomorrow I wanna sing the truth
