Make It Til Summertime - Shenandoah

We got this far on lies and secrets Then fell apart at the seams Now in these places, these empty spaces We learn to, we learn to breathe Right now, is the only time you'll ever be given To find all the answers in this empty life that you've been living So make a stand, this is your life in your hands We wont break or bend! Tear down the walls that held you in And start it over again Forget your darker days, they're over now! We got this far on lies and secrets Then fell apart at the seams Now in these places, these empty spaces We learn to, we learn to breathe I refuse, to suffer for your selfish mistakes! There's consequences to your actions more than your dreams at stake! I'll make a stand, take my life in my hands! We wont let this end! Dream up a future, make it happen! And follow your plans! Forget those darker days, they're over now! We got this far on lies and secrets Then fell apart at the seams Now in these places, these empty spaces We learn to, we learn to breathe We learn to breathe, we'll take a chance! We'll start it over again, forget the past! We'll blaze a path, these lights will lead the way! The darker days just fell behind cause better times are rising! Tear down the walls, just push on through, this life belongs to you! We got this far, we got this far This far... We got this far, we got this far This far... We got this far on lies and secrets Then fell apart at the seams Now in these places, these empty spaces We learn to, we learn to breathe

This song came along at a time when I really Needed the song to help me through some troubled times And at a time when I really believed in what I was writing So the song is special to me I'll need time to get you off my mind And I may sometimes bother you Try to be in touch with you Even ask too much of you from time to time Now and then Lord, you know I'll need a friend Till I get used to losing you Let me keep on using you Till I can make it on my own I'll get by But no matter how I try There'll be times you know I'll call Chances are my tears will fall And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time But they say Oh, there'll be a brighter day But till then, I'll lean on you That's all I mean to do Till I can never make it on my own Surely someday, I'll look up and see the morning sun Without another lonely night behind me Then I'll know I'm over you and all my crying's done No more hurting memories can find me But till then Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend Till I get used to losing you Let me keep on using you, till I can make it on my own Till I can make it on my own
