bleeding til it hurts
the need to start over again
the stillness with the burn
remembering how to begin
when will it be my turn
when time and I become friends?
and how will all this work
when you know where I have been?
Pre-Chorus 1
You see, the fire that was isn?t here
my heart is hanging onto every fear
Singing the words as i try to heal
this dark and deepest part of me
trying to hold on
Chorus
Keep off the ledge, far from the edge now
wave the white flag, it?s time to back down
wake up and set to keep your head above water
dive in the sea where you can be and
swim in the deep where you and I breathe
wake up and set to keep your head above water
Instrumental
verse 2
for all and what its worth
we rose and fell but in the end
we learn from how we were
everyone longs to pretend
drowning in the dark
even when the sun touches our face
reaching for the stars
as we look back in the race
Pre-Chorus 2
Oh the crashing waves
Bury me til I choose to be brave
Chorus 2x
bleeding til it hurts
the need to start over again
