VERSE ONE:
i see things as they're not,
i see skies as a drought
and plants as the earth
what is one without the other?
i see decisions change
then go back to how they were
can't it be the same, for me?
can't i be the way i was?
but there's nothing new in old news
no daylight without the sun
no father who's not a son to someone
no family tree that's complete
PRE-CHORUS ONE:
children get lost, when there's no love, to guide them back home
you're fresh and young, eat from this tree, be as blessed as you can be
thank me tomorrow, before they run out, we run from them first
we run from tomorrow
CHORUS:
i must go, thank me tomorrow
i won't make it back if you don't leave my hand
the source of life's gone for soul-searching
take off your coat, and place it around me, but it's not working
'cause there's no warmth, if there's no love
you sneak from behind, but i've got eyes everywhere
but they're too blind, to see you standing right there
VERSE TWO:
the lightning, the thunder, is my alarm
i hit snooze
but i have no mother, to crawl in next to
i await her appearance in the cracks of the mirror
she is me, i am her
she says, "if speak the password, i shall let you in
what's the matter? you're crying again?
words are nothing, once you crumple them to dust."
PRE-CHORUS TWO:
if i take you on, will i lose at once
if my heart's still repairing, will you cue yours up?
if my mind's undertaking a jewel of effort
should i wake you when dawn dusks?
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
now my reflection doesn't recognize me
my silence speaks for me
i make my way home, forgetting that i never left
took a right when the map said to turn left
children get lost, when there's no love, to guide them back home
the sky is a curtain, there's a universe uncertain—
we've yet to explore
come on, let's go!
(CHORUS)
OUTRO:
the sky is a curtain, there's a universe uncertain- we've yet to ExPlore, Let's Go
