Owl City - Tidal Wave lyrics

I wish I could cross my arms and cross your mind 'Cause I believe you'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve All my life I wish I broke mirrors instead of promises 'Cause all I see is a shattered conscience staring right back at me I wish I had covered all my tracks completely 'Cause I'm so afraid, is that the light at the far end of the tunnel, or just the train? Lift your arms, only Heaven knows where the danger grows And it's safe to say there's a bright light up ahead, and help is on the way (Help is on the way) (Help is on the way) (Help is on the way) Help is on the way I forget the last time I felt brave I just recall insecurity 'Cause it came down like a tidal wave And sorrow swept over me Depression, please cut to the chase and cut a long story short Oh, please be done, how much longer can this drama afford to run Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties and breaks whatever doesn't bend But sadly then all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again (Back down again) (Back down again) (Back down again) (Back down again) (Back down again) (Back down again) (Back down again) I forget the last time I felt brave I just recall insecurity 'Cause it came down like a tidal wave And sorrow swept over me Then I was given grace and love I was blind but now I can see 'Cause I found a new hope from above And courage swept over me It hurts just to wake up whenever you're wearing thin Alone on the outside, so tired of looking in The end is uncertain and I've never been so afraid But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope And that makes me feel brave
