lyrics

Roads, we’ve walked down them all
But why can’t we see
That we’re going round in circles?

Fight, for what you believe
But what if it means
That you fall short of the middle?

It’s funny how we, take what we want
But not what we need

Day after day
We dance and we sway
To the beat of the drum
Of someone else’s song
Did I just catch a glimpse of what I thought we could’ve been?
But we’re so busy hanging on
To make sense of all this
But what if your the last man standing?

Run, as fast as you can
Into the seas
Hoping they’ll wash you far from
Here, far from the heap
Do u see what I see?
We’re breaking in a million pieces

So which way is up
When we’re staring downwards
It’s a wonder how we’re still here?

Day after day
We dance and we sway
To the beat of the drum
Of someone else’s song
Did I just catch a glimpse of what I thought we could’ve been?
But we’re so busy hanging on
To make sense of all this
But what if your the last man standing?
