  • I wandered through fiction to look for the truth
    Buried beneath all the lies
    And I stood at a distance
    To feel who you are
    Hiding myself in your eyes

    And hold on before it's too late
    We'll run 'til we leave this behind
    Don't fall, just be who you are
    It's all that we need in our lives

    Now the risk that might break you's
    The one that would save
    A life you don't live is still lost
    So stand on the edge with me
    Hold back your fear and see
    Nothing is real 'til it's gone

    And hold on before it's too late
    We'll run 'til we leave this behind
    Don't fall, just be who you are
    It's all that we need in our lives

    So live like you mean it
    And love 'til you feel it
    It's all that we need in our lives
    So stand on the edge with me
    Hold back your fear and see
    Nothing is real 'til it's gone

    Hold on before it's too late
    We'll run 'til we leave this behind
    Don't fall, just be who you are
    It's all that we need in our lives

    And hold on before it's too late
    We'll run 'til we leave this behind
    Don't fall, just be who you are
    It's all that we need in our lives

    It's all that we need in our lives
    It's all that I need in my life Writer/s: John Rzeznik
