Let the lit cigarette to your lips when it fits
Like the wound to your heart that it loathes
'Cause it wasn't always broke
Holding on so long to something that it loves

Like the hole in the yard that we dug so far
Then we left for so long and forgot
'Cause the grass had grown so tall
Erasing all we thought
When I get close I fall

You say, life has got you down
Steady course, we're breaking out

This isn't what you thought it was
I should have known this from the start
Hiked 20 miles of catacombs
And now you're with me in my heart
Looking on so far
Saying, "There, I've got you now."

It's the goals in your mind that you left behind
From the glass, he's a crutch on the path to always losing touch
If you blur it just enough, you might see what you want

Now the dirt from the yard blew away so far,
Growing more each day 'til we saw
It became a mountain range and I just stared and blinked,
Wishing I could change

Say, life has got you down
Set a course, you're breaking out
Find the will to make it now
Before our time runs out

Oh, you didn't want to go.
Been holding on so long.
And now I know you'll make it.

This isn't what you thought it was.
I should have known this from the start.
Hiked twenty miles of catacombs.
And now you're with me in my heart.
Looking on so far
Saying, "There, I've got you now."

Ohhh...
Why'd you have to go?
And why'd I wait so long?
