lyrics

They never said this was gonna be easy.
It’s all in our heads, or maybe chemistry.
A generation dead, darkness over the city.
Hang me by the neck when I make her cry.
Curl up in bed, a blanket of apathy.

Inject and infect, do we lie down and die?
Correct the disconnect but I don’t know why.
You think that love would be enough, but when you don’t have the cards
the world will call your bluff:
It’s either sink or swim.
And I don’t know what to do I’m acting like a jerk
to the one that cares the most, all I do is hurt.
A card game you cannot win.

I never said this was gonna be easy.
I think about when we first met.
Could we go back to when things were simple?
Do you remember that night?

So we sat in my car in the parking lot and we waited all night
for the rain to stop.
So I turned your head, said it was my turn and our lips met, it was our first.
And when it was time to say goodbye I looked deep into your eyes.
So you waited in the rain that didn’t stop, but you came right back in the parking lot and there was something you forgot:
one last kiss.

So in the game of life you just got to play
and to fold bad cards when you lost the game.
But the truth is that you can’t beat death,
but you can beat death in life, you can.
There’s a light out there for us all, a fine line we have to walk:
It’s either sink or swim.

I’ll be the light if I can.
