lyrics

There’s a wave crashing forward where the horizon divides
And the sunlight just passes through
Down on the corner of I can’t wait and I wish I could go back
I wait with my only constant
It’s a box full of dreams I’ve carried since I was child
Since I had nothing to look to
Now I’m opening it here in this moment of denial
‘Cause I just might have something to prove to you

It’s the image of the wind
It’s sound of the light
That haunts you in darkness and speaks loud through the night
You race for the door but you haven’t left your bed
This happened once before and what was it that you said?

I will live for now
I will learn to love somehow
I will live for now

There’s a wave crashing forward where the highway divides
And the sunlight just chooses sides

I will live for now
I will learn to love somehow
I will live for now
I will learn to love somehow
And I will live for now
And I will learn to love somehow
And I will live for now
And I will learn to love somehow

The promise was still miles away
I cashed mine in early, I’m sorry to say
Goodbye everybody
I am leaving you tonight
And I may never return to this place
It’s better than nothing if nothing’s not more than a fire
It’s burning you alive
It’s my only weakness and I’m too young to die
Running in place as the flames lick my face
And the world just crumbles beneath me
It seems like a dangerous thing
The promise was still miles away
I cashed mine in early, I’m sorry to say
Goodbye everybody
I may be fearless in this world
But there are other worlds
