lyrics

Only twenty we’ve just begun

I think it’s safe to say there’s brighter days in sight

It gets better, we’re only young

And your advice is to embrace to the darkness of the night

There’s a certain truth in the orange air

The smell of cold smoke is just like home

A certain comfort knowing you’re there

Knowing one day soon we might not be alone

What have I done, I can’t be your friend

I won’t be your crutch, don’t let it end

Why does everyone watch me fall.

What have I done you don’t understand

I can’t take it back, why play pretend

Why does everyone watch me fall.

Just twenty-one with a full tank of gas

I swear we’re going somewhere, just maybe not fast

We gotta keep walking straight up this road

‘Til we find somewhere we can both call home

Not one for conflict, not one for a fight

This is just what they wanted to set us alight

We’ve gotten further than anyone else

Battled on shouting not tonight

What have I done, I can’t be your friend

I won’t be your crutch, don’t let it end

Why does everyone watch me fall.

What have I done you don’t understand

I can’t take it back, why play pretend

Why does everyone watch me fall.

I’ve fallen more than once before and prayed

I landed on my feet

Fallen thousands more and still I feel I need to retreat

You’re on fire and so am I

This is not somewhere I want to die

And I know you’re scared

Because you’re praying to a god that you know isn’t there.

What have I done, I can’t be your friend

I won’t be your crutch, don’t let it end

Why does everyone watch me fall.

What have I done you don’t understand

I can’t take it back, why play pretend

Why does everyone watch me fall.
