lyrics

You’ve really confused the point of this
An arrogant display of it
Somehow you’ve earned the praise on high
Each day a single setting sun
A new set of gaffes to outrun
Before you know it, we’re out of time
We are the souls who traveled far
And so far away from the source
How did we land on opposing sides?

It should’ve never come to this
Well, can we rewind?
Back to a time we’ll reminisce
You’ll have to decide
The time is really running out
And regret is truly in store
Well, even if this doesn’t work
It’s still better than what was before

In some ways, it’s all set and done
And you know you’ve had all your fun
But these dreams aren’t what they used to be
I know you’ve done the best you could
Beyond the brink, you’re becoming you
It’s just that it seems so bittersweet
It feels like everything is changing me
But I can’t seem to change anything
I guess it’s just poetic futility

It should’ve never come to this
Well, can we rewind?
Back to a time we’ll reminisce
You’ll have to decide
The time is really running out
And regret is truly in store
Well, even if this doesn’t work
It’s still better than what was before
