There's a shoebox full of letters Bound up neatly with some twine Each one was like a diamond Now the jewel is lost to time My reward is in the knowing That I held it in my hands for a little while What else is there But the treasures in your heart? Something tamed something wild For every time that I've been foolish When I'd wish that I'd been wise The power of regret still gets me Right between the eyes And sometimes I want to weep With nothing, but the tears of a little child What else is there But the lessons in your heart? Something tamed something wild Here's a map I've memorized of everywhere I've ever been And the faces of everyone I've loved and left to try again I couldn't make out what they were saying So instead I listened hard to what's inside What else is there But the voice inside your heart? Something tamed something wild Some nights I'm woken up by something stirring in my chest It's a feeling I've no name for It's hard to catch my breath I'm staring down the great big lonesome As I'm listening for the dwindling of time What else is there But the echoes in your heart? Something tamed something wild So the things that matter to me now Are different from the past I care less about arriving than just being in the path Of some light carved out of nothing The way it feels when the universe has smiled What else is there But the beating of your heart? Something tamed something wild There's the shoebox full of letters There's the map I won't forget The voices and the lessons And the signals that connect us Manifested to the spirit Way deep down where it goes unseen by the eye What else is there But the love inside your heart? To a life like a fireworks to a spark Over and above you in its arc Something tamed something wild

This feeling never leaves you alone You pull the trigger on your own You're hiding in your safe place, hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital Now will you ever rest your head? You end up feeling mostly dead Pretending you're the last one, hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all Take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars It never used to hurt before It isn't funny anymore Feeling so alone now, funny how you wish some way that you could die at the hospital You're quiet on the car ride home You're waiting for your head to explode You're hiding in your safe place, hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all Take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars (Before I close) before I close my eyes, I'm gonna give it up (Take off my mask) take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars Will you look them in the face? Could you look me in the face? Three cheers, you fooled them all (come on, hip hip hooray!) Three cheers, you fooled them all (come on, hip hip hooray) Hip hip hooray! Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all Take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars (Before I close) before I close my eyes, I'm gonna give it up (Take off my mask) take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey! (Leave the lies to the liars) (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey! (Leave the lies to the liars) (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey!
