When we're young we're not concerned about the world
Or losing our way
While we age this fucking place gets hard
To face down every day
Our lives are made of little moments
That we're trying to control
Searching for the happiness in life
While the workweeks take their toll
Well I'm stuck inside my head
I think the walls are closing in
I'm trying to survive so I can find out why
We're waiting for proof that there's something more
Holding onto the promise of something new
And I can't give up and I won't give in
Until I find out what the reason is
There's a war it's unfolding outside our door
So the punches roll just like a wave that's been carried away
Wearing down the rocks it crashes against every single day
Let me sail into the blue so I can stop thinking of you
I'll drift belly up so I can find out what
We're waiting for proof that there's something more
Holding onto the promise of something new
And I can't give up and I won't give in
Until I find out what the reason is
There's a war it's unfolding outside our door
It's the way the leaves turn inside out right before it rains
Falling down on us like it wants to wash away our pain
There's a shadow, it's been following me around
I keep chasing it, but I'm never gaining any ground
I don't know why I even bother to try
I'm upside down like I'm walking above the sky
And I can't look down cause I see my town
And if I'm not careful then I might drown
Falling faster towards all the reasons why
