Whose taming ways have brought us here? Not a single one of us was built tongue-tied, with too much patience Let not the focused stand as fast as the ones Who by their own misfortunes drop like bombs from heavy eyelids Give me a purpose and I'll blow it to hell Give me a reason why I shouldn't care Give me loose ends, I'll tie them into the ground (Ty) I could have been there, I should have been there But that's no reason to mark you under a stone That's no reason for you to die alone That's no reason I'm standing here at all That same old laugh you can't hold back That same dark glimmer in your eye Let me come home just once more, find you sitting on my porch Where we had spent so little time before Give me a purpose, watch me blow it to hell Give me one reason why I shouldn't care And give me loose ends, I'll pull him up from the ground (Ty) Cause I should have been there, I could have been there But that's no reason to mark you under a stone That's no reason for you to die alone That's no reason I'm standing here at all I'm standing here at all Ty That same old laugh you can't hold back That same dark glimmer in your eye
