  • I was lying in my bed
    A creature void of form
    Been so afraid of everything
    I need a chance to be reborn
    I never wanted anything that someone had to give
    I don't live here anymore
    I went along with you

    When I think about the old days, babe
    You're always on my mind
    I know it ain't like I remember
    I guess my memories run wild
    Like when we went to see Bob Dylan
    We danced to Desolation Row
    But I don't live here anymore
    But I got no place to go

    Beating like a heart
    I'm going to walk through every doorway I can start
    I need some time, I need control, I need your loving
    I want to find out everything I need to know
    I'm going to say everything that there is to say
    Although you've taken everything I need away
    I'm going to make it to the place I need to go
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own

    Time surrounds me like an ocean
    My memories like waves
    Is life just dying in slow motion
    Or getting stronger every day?
    I never took our love for granted
    You never left me wanting more
    But you never recognized me, babe
    I don't live here anymore

    Beating like a heart
    I'm going to walk through every doorway I can start
    I need some time, I need control, I need your loving
    I want to find out everything I need to know
    I'm going to say everything that I need to say
    Although, you've taken everything I need away
    I'm going to take you to the place I need to go
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own

    Beating like a heart
    I'm going to walk through every doorway I can start
    I need some time, I need control, I need your loving
    I want to find out everything I need to know
    I'm going to say everything that I need to say
    Although, you've taken everything I need away
    I'm going to take you to the place I need to go
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own

    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own
    We're all just walking through this darkness on our own Writer/s: Adam Granofsky, Robert John Bennett

  • Mike from Se PaLove this song. Pretty sure it is alluding to the narrators struggle overcoming depression/ anxiety and possible drug addiction. My sense “I don’t live here anymore” refers to him reminding himself that he needs to remain past that and live for the future
