lyrics
From the day that I was born, eighteen years ago
The lights were on, I could have sworn
But there was no one home.
Now I’m standing here beside you
I have no regrets
Looking back on these years
That I will not forget
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
We can try
So all your dreams don’t have to
(Prechorus)
Die like the last ones, never coming back.
Where do we go from here?
Will we ever last?
Trying to gather all the pieces of our past
Everything’s lost and gone
Moving way too fast.
From the day that I was born
I’ve been holding back
Running in circles
With your hands around my neck
But I’m breaking free today
I’m reaching for the sky
Won’t give up anything cause I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to
Die like the last ones
Never coming back
Where do we go from here?
Will we ever last?
(Chorus)
Hey, I don’t wanna waste another day
I don’t wanna die and waste away
'Cause there’s no going back
No going back
So stay with me
I watched the world change
And I still stand torn between the tides
Of my whole life.
I pray that we don’t have to
Die like the last ones
Never coming back
Where do we go from here?
Will we ever last?
From the day that I was born, eighteen years ago
The lights were on, I could have sworn
But there was no one home.
