I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep them down This is the first time I know I don't want the crown You can take it now You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string Stuck in my mouth, into my throat, told me to sing That was the first time I knew you can't kill the king And those who kiss the ring Tell me how It's better when the sun goes down We will never escape this town I wasn't scared when he caught me Look what it taught me Tell me how It's better if I make no sound I will never escape these doubts I wasn't dead when they found me Watch as they pull me down I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love That was the first time I knew they were out for blood And they would have your guts Tell me how It's better when the sun goes down We will never escape this town I wasn't scared when he caught me Look what it taught me Tell me how It's better if I make no sound I will never escape these doubts I wasn't dead when they found me Watch as they pull me down Watch as they pull me down Watch as they pull me down Pulling me down Dead when they found me Watch as they pull me down Watch as they pull me down Watch as they pull me down Pulling me down Dead when they found me Watch as they pull me down I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep them down This is the first time I know I don't want the crown You can take it now (you can take it now) You can take it now (you can take it now) Take it now (take it now)

I'm a little skeptical about the way you fry your eggs And I'll never understand your love of Sundays I don't quite know the bends of all the lanes in your head But I hope to walk closer to them some day A lifetime of troubles But how could I not love you? But in the end it's irresistible And it's kind of invisible Two souls, two souls Messing it all up as they go But how could I not? A total lack of a system for not losing your keys Would it be impossible to leave them by the front door? But I'll turn up every day for all these great mysteries Though in truth, you probably love the cat more A lifetime of wonders But how could I not? A lifetime of grumbles But how could I not? (Two souls, two souls, two souls, two souls) A lifetime of troubles, but how could I not love you? But in the end, it's irresistible Two souls making it all up as they go But how could I not love? Lifetime of troubles, but how could I not love you? Oh, what a funny slice of miracle Two souls messing it all up, they go But how could I not love? Lifetime of troubles, but how could I not love you? Oh, in the end, it's irresistible Two souls, two souls Just making it up A lifetime of troubles, but how could I not love you?

It's a big big world yeah everybody knows I wanna see how far the blue sky goes Find something new get a bird's eye view of a rainbow Get so close Have you heard of river road Running through a canyon fog Sat in the silence of a starry night Couldn't ask for more What are we waiting for We only got so much time I wanna make the most of mine When I tell you, tell you right We can drive, we can fly We can walk, I don't care I want you by my side, hang on tight I'll take you there Tell me all your dreams and your own dreams We're only ever living vicariously People watching people living on a screen is a funny thing But it ain't for me We only got so much time I wanna make the most of mine When I tell you, tell you right We can drive, we can fly We can walk, I don't care I want you by my side, hang on tight I'll take you there We can drive, we can fly We can walk, I don't care I want you by my side, hang on tight We only got so much time I wanna make the most of mine When I tell you, tell you right We can drive, we can fly We can walk, I don't care I want you by my side, hang on tight I'll take you there It's a big big world yeah everybody knows I wanna see how far the blue sky goes

Season after season We never found a rhyme for all your reasons Bleeding, you don't see it My heart against my head Internal treason You kissed me one night You never thought twice Now I'm a punchline At least that means I'm something to you I'm so sick and tired Of following the light of stars that already died Am I just chasing anything that shines? Baby, you're so unaware It's not your fault that you don't care It's like leaving up my Christmas lights in June It's embarrassing how long I'll wait for you So, you go, knowing I'll follow The little bit of hope you leave me for tomorrow It's a sharp pill, it's hard to swallow But if it helps take off the edge, and fill the hollow Hole inside my chest that's shaped like you No one fits the mould, so what's the use? So, I'm so sick and tired Of following the light of stars that already died Am I just chasing anything that shines? Baby, you're so unaware But it's not your fault that you don't care It's like leaving up my Christmas lights in June It's embarrassing how long I'll wait for you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, I'm so sick and tired Of following the light of stars that already died Am I just chasing anything that shines? Baby, you're so unaware But it's not your fault that you don't care It's like leaving up my Christmas lights in June Oh, it's embarrassing how long I'll wait for you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh... It's embarrassing how long I'll wait for you

Lately I've been thinking 'bout the differences we've had Complications with chemistry maybe it's for the best You go East and I'll go West in search of something new Looking for the lover that I thought I found in you Put my heart up on the internet to play the lottery Spending pickup lines on shallow eyes that are sick of being lonely Feel like it might take some time to learn about myself No dependencies on remеdies that stem from someonе else Oh, looking in the mirror now I ask myself Will I ever have it figured out It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it Thinking 'bout our memories regrets and my mistakes I thank God not loving you is one I didn't make Some days I still wonder if you're glad that we're apart Do you still think about me wish I never broke your heart Oh, looking in the mirror now I ask myself Will I ever have it figured out It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it It's better if I forget about it Move on I can live without it Oh, looking in the mirror now I ask myself Will I ever have it figured out Ever have it figured out
