[Verse 1]
I reached my limit today
I tried to fly too high
Can't stomach the thought of it
I've never tried
I move and move again
You went too slow
You moved a mountain
I tried to go below

[Verse 2]
Words fumble and fall around
But my river recedes
A famine for following
An acre full of weeds
You grow a plot of sand
But I sow the seeds
I had the fertile land
You worked within my means

[Chorus]
Not giving up if we started something
Can't give you time if I cannot afford it
If human nature makes you a stranger
Can't give you time if I cannot afford it

[Verse 3]
You're here and I'm back again
But I never go home
I'm picking up pieces of
The faces I've outgrown
Puzzle together the knowledge before you
Keep disconnecting the ties
So we can't go back
Can't go back

[Bridge]
Back
Can't go back
Back (I can't go back, I can't go back)
Can't go back (I can't go back, I can't go back)
Back (I can't go back, I can't go back)
Can't go back (I can't go back, I can't go back)

[Chorus]
Not giving up if we started something
Can't give you time if I cannot afford it
If human nature makes you a stranger
Can't give you time when I cannot afford it
Not giving up if we started something
Can't give you time if I cannot afford it
If human nature makes you a stranger
Can't give you time when I cannot afford it
