lyrics

You could get caught up in deceit
Found dead in the reeds
Or you could smile your way through life
And laugh at problems
I guess things ain’t so black and white
To come down to wrong and right
So just feel your way
And pray you don’t get caught up
Living long enough to see
You ain’t got time to make believe
Takes time you haven’t got
And that’s a problem
So leave your fear and leave your pride
We’ll leave home and kick-start life
Because it’s not how you fuck things up
It’s how you solve them

We sold our souls
To never let go
We got lost
We’ll never see eye to eye
But we’ll never try

We’d wipe tears from our eyes
Laugh out as we cried
Walk down by the river
Welcome rebirth
Feeling impressive and new
Restrung and retuned
Don’t beat yourself up
For what that’s worth
But no, we’ll let the chance slip by
Carry fear throughout out lives
Slip through cracks and disappear
And just stay cautious
It’s a safer way to live
Coughing up what we just did
And the life that keeps us living
Is the life for us

We sold our souls
To never let go
We got lost
We’ll never see eye to eye
But we’ll never try
