you say life is a dream where we can't say what we mean
maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past
there's no telling where we'll be in a day or in a week
and there's no promises of peace or of happiness

well is this why you cling to every little thing
and pulverize and derange all your senses
maybe life is a song but you're scared to sing along
until the very ending

oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know
ideas that strengthen who we've been
it's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
from the chains and shackles that they're in

oh, tell me what good is saying that you're free
in a dark and storming sea
you're chained to your history, you're surely sinking fast
you say that you know that the good lord's in control
he's gonna bless and keep your tired and oh so restless soul
but at the end of the day when every price has been paid
you're gonna rise and sit beside him on some old seat of gold
and won't you tell me why you live like you're afraid to die
you'll die like you're afraid to go

oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know
ideas that strengthen who we've been
it's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
from chains and shackles that they're in
from the chains and shackles that they're in

well life is a dream 'cause we're all walking in our sleep
you could see us stand in lines like we're dead upon our feet
and we build our house of cards and then we wait for it to fall
always forget how strange it is just to be alive at all

now that you're mine
i'll find a way
of chasing the sun.
let me be the one that shines with you
in the morning when you don't know what to do.
two of a kind
we'll find a way
to do what we've done.

let me be the one that shines with you
and we can slide away.

having to breathe heavy and loud
can't seem to shake the crush of a crowd
i'll never find peace in this fate
it always seems too little, too little, too late
it's the cracking of ribs, it's the rolling of tongues
it's erasing the debts for all the battles you've won
this is me just trying to stay afloat

i still see your coat hangin' on the door,
never let anybody put one there before
my pillow's got your head printed on it
baby, of all the guys you were my favorite.

oh love, i think i'm ready
cuz you send me flowers, when there's no occasion
yeah we talk for hours, you still wanna listen
won't hold it against me if i just need you to hold me tonight
my mother always told me that you'd show up one day
so scared to feel this way but love, i think i'm ready
