The Way Back

Sixteen years and half my life I started out on a runaway train I was drunk and foolish enough to get caught up in a dreamer's mistake I spent all my hard earned money on a love for the simple things But I just want it to be different this time So don't forget about me These bones won't break the same right now We're just a dying breed Take the pills and shake the fever out It doesn't matter that the scenes are gonna change I still need something to bear the weight of this war It's such a long way back from here But I'm ready to go For just a moment I thought we were through Sick to death and tangled up in blue I could sleep walk forever through this nightmare But I've still got something to prove To myself, I can't hold on to everything We can still build something beautiful I saw the exit signs but we can't lose These bones won't break the same right now We're just a dying breed Take the pills and shake the fever out It doesn't matter that the scenes are gonna change I still need something to bear the weight of this war It's such a long way back from here But I'm ready to go I really thought I could getaway Try to find that fairy tale ending Sit back till the fever breaks Cause I should have known that small town heroes still get by So if you don't mind, I'll catch my breath on the other side Over and over again These bones won't break the same right now We're just a dying breed Take the pills and shake the fever out It doesn't matter that the scenes are gonna change I still need something to bear the weight of this war It's such a long way back from here But I'm ready to go
