  • In the face
    Of change
    That's when she turned to me and said
    "I'm not sure anymore"

    And there
    Amidst the waves and the cloudless skies
    That blanket the year before
    I watch my life wash ashore

    Have you ever been a part of something
    That you thought would never end?
    And then, of course it did
    Have you ever felt the weight inside you
    Pulling away inside your skin?
    And then something had to give

    Now the lines are drawn
    Is this feeling gone?
    The best parts of this have come and gone
    And now that is is this all there is?
    And with the reasons clear
    We'll spend another year
    Without direction, full of fear
    And now things will be different

    There's nothing simple when it comes to you and I
    Always something in this everchanging life
    And there probably always will
    And now that time is getting harder to come by
    The same arguments are always on our mind
    We've killed this slowly fading light

    Now the lines are drawn
    Is this feeling gone?
    The best parts of this have come and gone
    And now that is is this all there is?
    And with the reasons clear
    We'll spend another year
    Without direction, full of fear
    But now things will be different

    And now something
    Has kept me here too long
    And you can't leave me
    If I'm already gone

    Well, now something (hey)
    Has kept me here too long
    And you can't leave me (hey)
    If I'm already gone

    Now let's say that something (hey)
    Has kept me here too long
    And you can't leave me (hey)
    If I'm already gone

    Now say we make the same mistakes
    We're always hanging on
    Break the promises we're always leaning on
    All this time spent waking up

    Keep this line open to get this call from you
    Speak the words that keep me coming back to you
    Now this time it's all different

    Now something
    Has kept me here too long
    And now I'm gone Writer/s: Brandon Barnes, Dan Wleklinski, Joseph Principe, Timothy Mcilrath
