I found i was standing on the dock on the fourth of july
I couldn't find my footing
Didn't know where i was that night
You walk away wondering if everything will be alright
After some time
I fell asleep too soon
Didn't know i was drowning in place
I missed all the ooh's and the aah's and the choices i made
I was chasing after something and i knew that it wasn't real
It wasn't right
Cause all the while i thought i was ahead
I was behind
I lost the freedom that i had
That night
You and i can get this right
If on the other side, it's impossible to get it right
Here in this life
And if you find that you are still alone when you think you're alright
You're better off standing on your knees to understand why
Yeah, maybe holding onto something there that isn't real
It isn't right
It will drag you down
It's your only chance
It will take your life
{Pre-chorus}
I stood above the sea
I took the cup for me to drink
I was afraid
I was turning water into wine
But you and i can get this right
If on the other side, it's impossible to get it right
Here in this life
And every now and then
It starts to make some sort of sense
It's impossible to get it right
All of the time
But i read it all wrong
I was still in the light
I was right all along
When they punctured the side
I read it all wrong
I was still in the light
I was still in the wrong
When they punctured the side and it made me right
But you and i can get this right
If on the other side, it's impossible to get it right
Here in this life
Every now and then
It starts to make some sort of sense
It's impossible to get it right
All of the time
It's impossible to get it right
Here in this life
It's impossible to get it right
All of the time
It's impossible to get it right
Here in this life
It's impossible
