We go through life with regrets For the first time Remember the highs but we come down And wish we learned to swim We stare cause the numbers we're given all turn out wrong in the end And now our history's rewriting itself to fit with the times So here we are, where souls collide Like fireflies in the spring Our friends went home, it's time to go Don't think we'll meet again And now my body's weightless and I can swim in the clouds Alas, the scent of mortality still lingers on the ground I'll steal my bones back from the morning star And leave my body in the sea So when I want I'll sneak back down to Earth To find good memories We go through life with regrets Just this last time Remember the highs but we come down And wish we learned to swim We stare cause the numbers we're given all turn out wrong in the end And now our history's rewriting itself to fit with the times

Better Days 04:07
Where have the better days gone? I miss the sun Whatever happened to the moonlight? Remember when we seized the day? Kept tomorrow far away How did we end up living in past tense? So pour another drink cause drinking's all thats left of what we had and we'll make it through the night Tell another joke, make it as dry as we feel nowadays and we'll pretend like it's all right Tonight we'll wonder "Where do you go when you die?" Will we find each other? We may drift apart forever, never find a key to make things better Should we all just burn our bridges down? Take high roads through the clouds If we say goodbye would we really mean it? The way we act we seem to care Are we grabbing at thin air? Will I look for you in an afterlife? So fake another laugh cause we all need something to hold on to and keep us warm throughout the night No one dies alone as long as memories still stay intact, so we got the rest of our lives to make it right Tonight we'll wonder "Where do you go when you die?" Will we find each other? We may drift apart forever, never find a key to make things better We may drift apart forever, never find a key to make things better

Sweet little bird, we spent half our lives being misplaced at sea We never found land, only dreamt it was a possibility Soaked with delusion, we found ourselves wandering up and down the side of the road Trying to find solutions in a long and twisting dark unknown And every time it rains I get lost deep in thought, I can feel you in my bones And every time bad winds roll around I think back to when we both said goodbye Out of my mind, I swear one more night would've been good for me Cause this man is broken, and the future holds no relativity And every time it rains I get lost deep in thought, I can feel you in my bones And every time bad winds roll around I think back to when we both said goodbye And every time it rains I get lost deep in thought, I can feel you in my bones And every time bad winds roll around I think back to when we both said goodbye

Chemicals 03:59
You and I were pure just like the morning But something went wrong, something went missing from us I gotta find a piece of me I left buried on the shoreline I gotta take a break from this and come back on my own time Imagine love was clean, simple as a new born It's not like the films it's like chemical warfare There's gotta be a way to find something that's worth living for I can't go day to day and lie I got something that i'd die for I'm standing here in the mud I think i'm low enough I gotta get back to the start to fix myself As the curtain falls it seems so familiar We were here before, drowning in black holes And like times of war we make our last stand The LZ is hot and we're moving to fast I'm standing here in the mud I think i'm low enough I gotta get back to the start to fix myself We were on the edge of undefined sensations while our souls roasted on the street I took the back road through interpretation cause I thought that's what you needed Nobody told me you were out on your own You were pouring your heart's dementia Nobody told me you were out on your own But I knew all along
