Stay with me
I can't feel these words like I did when we were young
Trading in ink for false peace of mind
Well, I've been choking on words for far too long now
Back and forth, we're always falling in between
The cracks in the floor board won't offer you a thing
And I'm naive, but I know happiness is fleeting
And yet we pursue it on in hopes that we won't need it
It comes in waves of age
A sea of disconnect
Now crashes on the shores of innocence
And in a sense, we're trying to keep ourselves afloat
Back and forth, we're always falling in between
The cracks in the floor board won't offer you a thing
And I'm naive, but I know happiness is fleeting
And yet we pursue it on in hopes that we won't need it
Well it comes in waves of age
And we're all sinking under
This happiness facade
On entering life
Whatever may come
Nothing is guaranteed
When you paint such a perfect picture
And you see it realized in flesh
When there's nothing to aspire to left
We tend to disconnect
So won't you put this back together just one more time
Stay with me
I can't feel these words like I did when we were young
Trading in ink for false peace of mind
Well, I've been choking on words for far too long now
