Lyrics
Pushing towards paradise
On blacktop and tar
Wondered if my soul
Matched my scars
Went off the rails
I went off the tracks
If you weren't there
Could you come back?
My blood was red
But I worried it black
Plans to ashes
Promises to dust
One of these days, we will learn to trust
There's no point
In making this so tough
Can't you see now? We were always enough
See our precious symbols
We held to our sides
Burning holes in our pockets
And our fire-proof pride
Walking in love
I'm flying in chains
Covered in the mud
Praying for rain
Done with speaking lines
It's oh so strange
What it takes to be happy
Plans to ashes
Promises to dust
One of these days, we will learn to trust
There's no point
In making this so tough
Can't you see now? We were always enough
I don't know how long we've been down here
But everybody's singing
When are you going to come back up for air?
'Cause everybody's waiting
