God damn, another failed plan
Well the dream must be dead
We’ll never make it
Tied up in all the wrong reasons
Let the seasons passing turn us cynical and cold
Is there still a spark in your soul?
Does the pain still linger in your bones?
Think about it hard
Cause we’ve got another chance at this
Are you ready?
Cause it might be our last
You’re inciting a mountaintop
I’m excited to see what this avalanche brings to me
I hope to see my oldest friends grow
Cause I know their dreams from so long ago
Don’t you think we owe
Just a little bit of something to the next ones?
So they can see this through
And I heard the good news ringing hrough the blues
That we might just make it after all
So stand tall, so we can be the guidance
As we were the guided once
Don’t you ever forget that
As vagrant souls when the street glows
Walked all the way home
With talks of dreams and getting out of this town
And oh,
Do you remember your songs?
And I’ll help sing along
When I hit the road with my best friends
[Chorus]
We all grow old and let go
And get told that we are not who we ought to be
So take hold of the intent of your soul
And don’t let it be sold by anybody else’s gold
We’re taking on the world
Taking on the world to find our place in time
Not be haunted by a list of innocent excuses
To cover a pathetic lie
[Chorus]
