Here we lie, absent again,
Righteous, afraid this will end,
We’re down in the mud, we’re gasping for air out here,
Hope, I’ve been knocking a while—are you there?
I’m starting to feel worse for wear, right here by your door,
Where have you gone, my friend?

For better or worse, you can’t tear us apart,
‘Cause I won’t let go—you’re all that I’ve got,
I found my way here.

We counted days for this moment in time,
We prepared for the fight of our lives,
Overwhelmed, ‘cause you made this all worth waiting for,
I don’t feel anything without you here,
I don’t feel like anyone without you here.

Love wasn’t holding us back—it was fear,
Let it slip through the cracks and disappear,
We never looked back; we buried our hearts in vain,
Hope seemed so distant and so far away,
Then you came along, and it changed.

For better or worse, you can’t tear us apart,
‘Cause I won’t let go—you’re all that I’ve got,
I found my way home.

We counted days for this moment in time,
We prepared for the fight of our lives,
Overwhelmed, ‘cause you made this all worth waiting for,
I don’t feel anything without you here,
I don’t feel like anyone unless you’re here.

I won’t surrender, won’t surrender, without you.

Na na na na na na na na.

Gonna run this town again,
Gonna retain my liberty,
Look on your face ain’t that innocent,
But if looks could kill, then I’d soon be dead,

Na na na na na na na na.

Gonna drown myself in sin,
Giving up before I begin,
Holding fort, won’t let you in,
But you always find a way in me now.

I’m falling for your own self-esteem,
Let chaos bring us back,
To what we had, what we believed,
We’re too far gone, we’re hopelessly adrift,
Let chaos bring us back now,
To what we had, just you and me.

We try to fight before we break,
And there’s so much to figure out,
Spent our days being too afraid,
Of what the future holds,
We try to fight before we wake up,
So much to dream about,
Too many days of being afraid,
Where is my future now?

You’ve got the world under control,
Just say the words, we fit the mold,
Your certainty just gives us doubt,
We built ourselves on borrowed time,
Slid past warning signs,
Like we’ve never been before.

We don’t look back,
We just close our eyes,
Don’t overthink it, we just let go,
And wait for the sun to rise.

The weight of silence starts to speak,
A quiet war, a slow defeat,
You swore you’d never let us fall,
You count the faces, name the ghosts,
Rewrite the past but hold it close,
You can’t erase my memory.

Always on my mind,
Racing to the finish line,
You got me through the darkest nights,
When hope was wearing thin,
Took a chance, took a hit, we played our games,
What a mess, every miss, we made mistakes,
But we’d do it all again,
‘Cause we practice what we preach.
