Our Decade

Just like that
A decade has begun
The gun went off to
The race that we all run
You rate it all
You charted and thats good
You played the game and won and that’s all good
When I make it
I’ll leave you all behind
What did you do
(That) I haven’t already done
I am the best
I write all of my songs
I play the parts and I
Never have my doubts
I don’t follow trends
They follow me
I don’t make the rules
But I made me
If I ever said
I wasn’t great
Then don’t tell me
That I never lied

Should clean the house again
Now that I’m better
To get the space back
And burn some time
The world continued
Fine without me
The curtains drawn
The light shut out
To sleep all day
To hide away
Is nothing new
But it’s a waste of time
To float all day
To slide away
Is nothing new
But it’s a waste of time
You can’t ignore yourself
You have to do better
We care about you
You have to try
Put down the cigarettes
And stop your drinking
To clear your atmosphere
And get it right
To sleep all day
To hide away
Is nothing new
But it’s a waste of time
To float all day
To slide away
Is nothing new
But it’s a waste of time
(I'm going to go get something to drink)

Did you need help that night
You never said anything to me
How was I supposed to know
That you were going through something
If when I dropped you off that night
I asked to come inside as well
Would you be here today
Or would you just have waited until I left
If there was a next time I would know
Not to let you go alone
If there is a next time in the future
I promise I won’t let them go alone
If when I dropped you off that night
I asked to come inside as well
Would you be here today
Or would you just have waited until I left
Did you need help that night
You never said anything to me
How was I supposed to know
That you were going through something
If when I dropped you off that night
I asked to come inside as well
Would you be here today
Or would you have waited until I left

I walk
Down a path and
I see
Something different
I throw
Stones in the river and
I know
I am okay
I get
Off the train and
I meet
Up with my friends
They ask
How I am and
Let me
Stay the night or two
Subways
Underground and
Buildings
Touch the sky
So cold
At the top but
We have
All we need here

I got a map and I followed to the edge of the world with you
To the edge where threw off everything I knew
I was there when I saw I could start it new
I was there I was there I was next to you
I brought you there because I thought it would work
You were gone but I thought it would work
I just wanted you back and I didn’t care
I didn’t know that I could fail
When I came back to my home I felt lost and alone
Everybody was gone and the house was cold
I was late to the world and it left me behind instead
I put my hands on the ground and the dirt on my head
I saw you falling faster than before before you left but it couldn’t stop
I reached out to grab your arm but I couldn’t hold on
It was over before I could say my last words to you
But if I could try again I would see this through
You came back to the edge last night when I was with you
I was there when you saw me and I saw you
You brought me here because you wanted to stay
But I would have showed up with my map anyway
You were gone and you thought it would work
You wanted to come back and you didn’t care
You didn’t know that it would fail

Calling out
Off the ground
Where are you
Forgot youre gone
Once again
Never ends
I wish I could stand
And leave
Calling out
From my window
No ones there
Anymore
Cities dark
Streets are cold
I wish I wasn’t
The only one here

And now
I try
I see
I am
And you
Again
Begin
Again
Begin
Again
But now
Somehow
We lasted through the night
When I
Woke up
I found out you were alive
Don’t let this go to waste
Don’t let me go
Don’t me leave
When I said it’s done
I didn’t mean its over
I had so much to say to you and now that you’re here I don’t even know where to start
I’m sorry, first and foremost, for having to do this at all actually because it should never have come to this but here we are
A deal
Made with
Someone who could do it
Even just
One day
Would be enough to make this right
Don’t let this go to waste
Don’t let me go
Don’t me leave
When I said it’s done
I didn’t mean its over

That wasn’t real
It never was
It might as well have been a dream
So now you know
And now you see
How things were supposed to be
Please just leave
There’s nothing left
You’re not missing out on anything
Think about
What you can do
And maybe you can do something better
