Often the right way is blocked by the wrong person.

it just seems like forgetting everything
would be like pretending the earth is flat
it just seems like we're burning everything
when all i want is to be where you're at

i want to swim across the rivers
that built a gap between our hearts
i want love to remove these slivers
that just broke apart our hearts

i can't say i'll forget the pain
broken bottles, patched up leaks
i can't say i'll forget disdain
for whoever tore up these weeks

words like melancholy
seem cheap and cliche
when you've hit
rock bottom

all the wrong things
happen at the same time
all the strong things
I never said in time

a car crash in slow motion
burning tires flying outside
i never thought the notion
would burn a hole inside

I want to watch as you fall asleep
to see the peace you've given me
I've been burning the blood inside
making faces I could never hide

I felt you wrapped inside my arms,
like I'd save you from the harm.
That the world could turn back
from the love you've never lacked

I want to turn the tides of time -
stop the world, relive my rhyme,
watch your eyes close and feel
that I could've said what's real.

Someday it'll be safe to say.
The words I wrote this day
I'll keep them hidden away.
the rainbow we made today.

is it safe to say?

I'm not the man you thought I could be
I'm not the man you thought you'd need
I'm sorry to disappoint such a beautiful face
but it was never right to wait for this phase

an awkward puzzle of confusion -
hoping for some kind of physical fusion
I never wanted to break the silence
and place the world in this awful tense

if only to be back within your warm light
I'd lie to bring myself back to that night
but that lie would eat me inside and
burn up the heart held in your hand

unknown to both you and I
the world will go on tonight
that's the just the way it always is
when moments die, ceasing to exist

so put that one away in your bank
save it for when you empty the tank
take that last look and realize it's spent
and you'll always wonder where it went

It was the last slow dance
and the night seemed so long
when I thought I took a chance
and never felt so wrong

I know you know
we'll never meet
again

I said you said
we'll never speak
again

I could feel you blushing
I knew you were here for me
when our souls were touching
in your beautiful eyes of green

I knew you knew
we'd never say hi
again

I said you said
never good bye
again

just one more time again
smile at me with your eyes
and I'll never ask again
those questions or the lies

I knew you'd know
I would never fit in

I said you'd say
I'd always be a friend

the colors in her eyes
were driving me so blind
and the burn out lies
came when I left the line

they say you can
walk the line
but I'm not a fan
walk the line

the colors in my eyes
were bleeding into yours
and the burn out lies
were started by hers

all the citizens say
walk the line
but I can not stay
walk the line

the colors that you die
were bending my mind
the burned out lies
were walking the line

all these burdens weigh
they walk the line
pick up the pieces today
then walk the line

the colors that I bled
coming from my heart
bleeding tear-stained red
walked the line too far

off the road, it's over
walk the line
forgot to love her
walk the line

the last invisible
last unbelievable

the unforeseen future
death that released me
able to see my future
and make me clean

the last unreachable
the last inescapable

the heavy burden
laid down at the feet
rises to Your burden
a grace so sweet

the last great wonder
the great peel of thunder

it tore the shroud asunder
the torn shroud of law
brought the universe under
the new light I saw

the last great choice
that stole away my voice

crying out; there's nothing left
bring me near to You
let me know what I have left
is what You want to use

You're the last great adventure
Nothing to do with measure

the problem deep inside of me
the raging war within myself
conflict so deep I couldn't see
I was destroying myself

beginning and the end
infinity cycle of the wind

you pulled me close
and You'll never let me go
I am one You chose
and I'll never let that go

There's a certain providence
in being hung out to dry
Lacking certain evidence
and being flung out to cry

believe it or not
I think this day is over

if what I did was so wrong
when did you get so clean
I hate to see you so strong
to feel this judging scream

believe it or not
i wish this day was done

why is the world so lonely
and this pain inside so heavy
and all I can say is "if only"
no one hears the words I levy

believe it or not
I think this day is done

feels like my cornerstone's gone
destined to crumble and fall
How could I feel this for so long
and never know where to call

believe it or not
This day was always over
