This is the hope that you hold back
When you need to get it on track
And you're feening for the feedback
Until you're reeling from the relapse
You get loaded til you just ignore
Every feeling that you had before
But you're believing that there's something more
Play along
Pretend that we could be the ones who break the mould
We'll stay so strong
All their violence can't defeat our beating hearts
And when they're gone
You and me will completely re-write these laws
We'll change them all
Let's change it all
Play along, play along
You hit a low when you rolled that
Leaving Martin with your old man
To the ravine until it goes black
Now you're dreaming with your cold hands
We're gonna hold you til you come back home
Maybe this beat will move your sleeping bones
You'll be the reason that we keep on going
We keep on going on and...
Play along
Pretend that we could be the ones who break the mould
We'll stay so strong
All their violence can't defeat our beating hearts
And when they're gone
You and me will completely re-write these laws
We'll change them all
Let's change it all
Play along, play along
Floating away with our hearts and our eyes closed
Floating away with our eyes and our minds turning off
Floating away with our hearts and our eyes closed
But heavy enough just to crash through this cycle with love
Play along
Pretend that we could be the ones who break the mould
We'll stay so strong
All their violence can't defeat our beating hearts
And when they're gone
You and me will completely re-write these laws
We'll change them all
Let's change it all
Play along, play along
Play along, play along
Play along, play along
