Lyrics
You were right - it?s not fair
the sun will rise, and fill your eyes
but we?re not going anywhere
All this time we built this up
Where the passion goes, I think I know
But it never was enough
(pre chorus)
So let your eyes go blind
Someone draw the line
(chorus)
Exit wounds tear me up
Cross that line one more time
Exit wounds ? our missing luck
The stars align some other time
This doesn?t sit well with me
My composure fails on a bed of nails
That no one ever sees
It?s all right, in case you thought
That we had a choice, or I?d found a voice
For something that I?m not
(pre chorus, chorus)
(bridge)
Let?s build a raft, we?ll float away from here
Meet me at midnight, and we?ll disappear
I?m never telling you the things that are wrong with me
There?s so much that?s wrong with me
(chorus)
