  • When you can't win
    For losing
    And the beggars start choosing the chaos in your head
    Calls the cracks to start showing
    All knowing, all glowing with the light of the

    Dying to raise the dead, oh

    You're a world away
    But you're still the same
    I know you by your heart
    I will call you by your name
    And it's a long way
    From the crack to the break
    You know that I remember everything

    Steady yourself
    And your tumbleweed words
    Be a street corner preacher
    Or just feed the birds
    But don't hold to yourself
    With hard mortar and stone
    Be a rubber band man
    Make the water your bones

    Dying just to live now

    You're a world away
    But you're still the same
    I know you by your heart
    And I will call you by your name
    And it's a long way
    From the crack to the break
    You know that I remember everything

    When I said "Forever"
    You said, "Get back in the car"
    Nothing lasts forever, babe
    You know it breaks my heart

    And I'll call you anything
    That you like
    And I am free and I'm able
    To call you the second that you

    Dying just to live now

    You're a world away
    But you're still the same
    I know you by your heart
    And I will call you by your name
    And it's a long way from the crack to the break
    You know that I remember everything

    When I said "Forever"
    You said, "Get back in the car"
    Nothing lasts forever, babe
    You know it breaks my heart
    You're a world away
    But you're still the same
    You know that I remember everything

    New ink on your skin
    Red lips in the dark
    Nothing lasts forever, babe
    You know it breaks my heart
    Put a shiver on your skin
    Do your hair in the car
    If nothing lasts forever, babe
    Then can we make a start? Writer/s: AARON BROOKING DESSNER, BENJAMIN WALTER DAVID LOVETT, BRANDI MARIE CARLILE, EDWARD JAMES MILTON DWANE, MARCUS OLIVER JOHNSTONE MUMFORD
