Like a lit cigarette to your lips when it fit
Like the lung to your heart that it loathes cause it wasn't always broke
Holding on so long for something that it loves
Like the hole in the yard that we dug so far
Then when you left for so long and forgot 'cause the grass had grown so tall
Erasing all we thought and when I get close I fall
You say life has got you down
Steady course, we're breaking out
This isn't what you thought it was
I should have known this from the start
Like twenty miles of catacombs
And now you're with me in my heart
Looking on so far, saying "There, I've got you now."
It's the goals in your mind that you left behind
From the glass is a crutch on the path to always losing touch
If you blur it just enough you might see what you want
Now the dirt from the yard blew away so far
Growing more each day 'til we saw it became a mountain range
And I just stared and blinked, wishing I could change
Say, life has got you down
Steady course, you're breaking out
Find the will to make it now
Before our time runs out
Oh, you didn't want to go
Been holding on so long
And now I know you'll make it
This isn't what you thought it was
I should have known this from the start
Like twenty miles of catacombs
And now you're with me in my heart
Looking on so far, saying "There, I've got you now."
Ohhh...
Why'd you have to go?
And why'd I wait so long?
