It was not the beginning
But somewhere in the middle
Where we met
That I started really
To realize what it is
What my life is sure to be
And you know, the nights
I stare at nothing
Into the darkness
With words that never come
Thoughts that never float
I don't know where they come from
But I do know where they go
They end up in this dusty corner
In the b-side of my mind
And there they stay, quietly
Until it's time to unwind
This is when I go outside
Sit on the porch, look up at the sky
And think of the things
Like you, where you are, and why
Then I hope for the best
Send my wish to the moon
Go inside acting like nothing happened
Nothing ever happened
Because nothing ever happens
That's how it has to be

Dare to swear
To me
That angels are not angels
Unless we want them to be.

And if it's not real
Then so be it.
If you're not real
I don't mind.
Whatever lies
I'm blind to the story.
I see your life
For the truth you hide.
If anything at all
Can motivate me now
It's finding out,
Truly,
Who you really are.
And if it is the truth,
If the lie has been the lie,
Then you can't say i never believed you.
But it's hard to sit here and stay
When everything is seemingly
Pitting me against you.

Are you awake?
Are you even alive?
I need you to be
Because soon, good will come
You'll need to be there for that
Do you remember when you were sad?
When you were alone?
When you hated yourself?
When you wanted to be someone else?
So badly that it hurt
So badly that it still hurts
What about when you were angry?
When sadness turned sour?
When you directed it toward the one you love?
How bad did you feel then?
Do you remember?
Do you?
Because i need you to
It will make you stronger
And it will help us win the next one
The next battle that decides our happiness

Wake up.
Get up.
Put on your shoes.
Get your **** together.
Remember.
And make sure that **** doesn't happen again.

When our desired destination
Is just a right turn
Why do we then
Go left
Drive around the block
Once, twice, three times
Take three more left turns
Ending up where we started
And realize only then
How to turn right?

And how come, by then,
That road doesn't exist anymore?

Because we were never really
Behind the wheel at all

Today was just a day
And you dealt with it okay
But tomorrow is a boy who needs to run

You've seen it all before
You've knocked on all the doors
But tomorrow is a funny looking one

Everything is about to change
But I say bring it closer to me

Oh it's coming soon
But like the spinning of the moon
In truth, it is already happening

Think back to the start
When we sang with bolder hearts
And the darkness wasn't even bothering

Oh everything is about to change
But I say bring it closer to me

Bring the storm and the blows
And everything it knows
And I say bring it closer to me

Soon
Soon

Hope it was a bird
That flew til it was heard
And landed in a corner of a mind

I'll get what I'll get
And we ain't seen nothing yet
And no one has ever glanced the other side

Oh everything is about to change
But I say bring it closer to me

Bring the time and the space
And the lost, forgotten place
And I say bring it closer to me

Today was just a day
And you dealt with it okay
But tomorrow is a boy who needs to run

Oh everything is about to change
But I say bring it closer to me

Timothy can't find his happiness
It's abandoned him it seems
Though he does not know it now
He sees it in his dreams
It escapes his grasp, it runs away
In every single scene
It may be confusing him
But he knows just what it means
And it really gets to him
It hurts him to the core
If it goes like this much longer
He can't fight it anymore
He shudders every minute
With every step he takes
He does not know why
He hears his heart break
He's given it some thought
And taken all his time
He just might have to do it
Have a bit of wine
It will crush who he is
Who he wanted always to be
But he doesn't have a choice
He knows it is the key
Then hopefully he'll get the girl
The one who likes to sing
When he hears her pretty song
He'll imagine her with wings
If it works, he can be happy
All smiles and laughter
With her he can live on
Happily ever after

In the morning
Waking up to
Terrible sunlight

All diffuse
Like skin abuse
The sun is half its size

When you talk
You hardly even
Look in my eyes

In the morning
In the morning

In the doorway
Holding every
Letter that i wrote

In the driveway
Pulling away
Putting on your coat

In the ocean
Washing off my
Name from your throat

In the morning
In the morning
