[Chorus]
Are we really this far gone?
We yell upstream to watch it fall
Have we still the faintest clue?
The past repeats to nothing new

[Verse 1]
Every day is a shot in the dark and we're tested
Afraid of the mark where we're more or we're less than
It's nothing new, oh-oh-oh, oh

[Verse 2]
I know my ties but I'm cutting them loose
'Cause I'm not gonna waste my time
When I'm locked in a noose
But if I can't help myself, I'm giving in
Like all of the times I've held you up to let you win

[Verse 3]
But it's hard, and it hurts, and I'm tired
'Cause I run when you chase me
Alone, I'm losin' strength

[Chorus]
Are we really this far gone?
We yell upstream to watch it fall
Have we still the faintest clue?
The past repeats to nothing new
