[Verse 1]
I found I was standing on the dock on the Fourth of July
I couldn't find my footing
Didn't know where I was that night

You walk away wondering if everything will be alright
After some time

[Verse 2]
I fell asleep too soon
Didn't know I was drowning in place
I missed all the ooh's and the aah's and the choices I made

I was chasing after something and I knew that it wasn't real
It wasn't right

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause all the while I thought I was ahead
I was behind
I lost the freedom that I had
That night

[Chorus]
You and I can get this right
If on the other side, it's impossible to get it right
Here in this life
[Verse 3]
And if you find that you are still alone when you think you're alright
You're better off standing on your knees to understand why

Yeah, maybe holding onto something there that isn't real
It isn't right
It will drag you down
It's your only chance
It will take your life

[Pre-Chorus]
I stood above the sea
I took the cup for me to drink
I was afraid
I was trying to turn water into wine

[Chorus]
But you and I can get this right
If on the other side, it's impossible to get it right
Here in this life

And every now and then
It starts to make some sort of sense
It's impossible to get it right
All of the time
[Bridge]
But I read it all wrong
I was still in the light
I was right all along
When they punctured the side

I read it all wrong
I was still in the light
I was still in the wrong
When they punctured the side and it made me right

[Chorus]
But you and I can get this right
If on the other side, it's impossible to get it right
Here in this life

Every now and then
It starts to make some sort of sense
It's impossible to get it right
All of the time

[Outro]
It's impossible to get it right
Here in this life

It's impossible to get it right
All of the time
It's impossible to get it right
Here in this life

It's impossible
