The Comeback

It seems I've tucked my dreams in tight,
put them to bed and said "goodnight."
So long. Tomorrow I'll be long gone.
Keep on dreaming, stop repeating
mistakes I've made, it's time to change.
So long. Tomorrow I'll be long gone.
Used to seem so far away.
Getting closer every day.
Here's to a second chance.
For every time we've fallen down, we'll make a comeback.
We'll start a new term on our own terms,
and write this chapter better than the last.
Another week of overtime.
Remember when this life was mine?
So long. Tomorrow I'll be long gone.
Keep on dreaming. Don't stop believing.
Learn from my mistakes.
So long. Tomorrow I'll be gone.
No holding back. (THIS)
You can't. (LIFE)
Stop us now. (IS OURS)
We're not done fighting.
Not done singing.
We can't be dying.
This is only the beginning.

The Issue

DON'T BLINK.
Every second seems to come with a lifetime of change.
These days, these dreams, our youth, and all the memories.
And I will never forget our time, even as it passes me by.
Crashing down in the blink of an eye.
I will never forgive you.
As my heart sinks deeper, the pain slowly fades away.
As my heart sinks deeper, your name slowly fades away.
This feeling is fading away.
I can feel it all fading away, lifted from my shoulders.
So here's to the past, before it's all grey.
This rusted ship sets sail today.
So here's to the past, before it fades away.
This ship sets sail today.

The Ground

My knees buckle under me.
The ground below is unforgiving, cold, and ruthless.
There's nothing I can do to keep from falling down.
I might as well learn how to get my feet back on the ground.
Do your worst. No matter how much it hurts, I can take this.
Do your worst. No matter how much it hurts, I'll be back on my feet in the next two weeks.
Even though I might be spitting out my teeth, I turn my head around, there's nothing left. It's looking pretty empty.
No matter what happens, I know for sure that if I'm not dead yet,
I have everything to live for.
Do your worst. No matter how much it hurts, I can take this.
Do your worst. No matter how much it hurts, I'll be back on my feet in the next two weeks.
(ON MY FEET)
Face down.
Bruised and Broken.
Feels like I'm choking, but I've still got some air in my lungs
and that will be more than enough.

The Escape

Tonight let's drive away from here.
Is this freedom or is this fear?
I don't care as long as you come with me.
I've been thinking about what I need to say.
It doesn't matter. Let's drive the night away.
We're gonna run away to nowhere.
I have no care at all,
and I'll tell you my dreams
if you tell me what it means.
I have no care at all.
We have nothing to fear.
No one can touch us in here.
So what. You've made some mistakes.
Hell, I know I've made some too.
Forgive, Forget. Don't wanna talk about it.
Turn up my stereo and sing along.
The music saves me.
When I hear that song, I know every little thing is gonna be alright.
I have no care at all.
We'll leave this place behind and I'll be there by your side.
I have no care at all.
Hit the gas and don't look back.
Tonight we're headed off the map.
This is the song we'll be singing when it all comes crashing down.
Escape this bright lit city, to the nowheres we have found.
We'll sing this song to bring us up when it all comes crashing down.
Nothing can torture these hearts now.
I have no care at all. I don't care as long as you come with me.
