Lyrics
0:16I don't remember the timeline
0:19Just December and the eastern skyline
0:22It was just my time to go
0:27It wasn't even a cold night
0:30Disappointed in the northern lights
0:32I always thought there'd be snow
0:39Four hundred people on a broken wheel
0:41When the plane touched down in a concrete minefield
0:45I guess we all made it out okay
0:50Following the streets to a sliver of blue
0:53You can lose the sky and it can lose you too
0:56But you get a little lost to find your way
1:01I'm living in a war with time
1:04I can still reach out and touch you
1:07And I wish I didn't know the things I know
1:12I'm standing in an open door
1:16None of it was overrated
1:18And I'm never gonna want to let you go
1:24But I want you to go
1:31Don't even ask me just go
1:36I don't remember the faces
1:40Just the anger and the haunted places
1:42So alive I could taste it on the rain
1:48Even the roaches come from somewhere else
1:51Leaving a stain where the angels fell
1:54In the city where no one knows your name
1:58I'm living in a war with time
2:02I can still reach out and touch you
2:05And I wish I didn't know the things I know
2:10I'm standing in an open door
2:14None of it was overrated
2:16And I'm never gonna want to let you go
2:22But I want you to go
2:29Don't even ask me just go
2:37Hold their eyes make sure they know
2:40Stand your ground but see the soul
2:43Beneath the pain and broken home
2:46With every drop of rain and bone
2:49Square your shoulders turn to stone
2:52Slowly shake your head for no
2:54When you find yourself alone
2:57Retrace your steps and come back home
3:02I'm living in a war with time
3:06I can still reach out and touch you
3:08And I wish I didn't know the things I know
3:14I'm standing in an open door
3:18None of it was overrated
3:20And I'm never gonna want to let you go
3:25But I want you to go
3:31I want you to go
3:36I know you want me to
3:37And I want you to go
3:43I want you to go
3:47Don't even ask me just go
I don't remember the timeline Just December and the eastern skyline It was just my time to go It wasn't even a cold night Disappointed in the northern lights I always thought there'd be snow Four hundred people on a broken wheel When the plane touched down in a concrete minefield I guess we all made it out okay Following the streets to a sliver of blue You can lose the sky and it can lose you too But you get a little lost to find your way I'm living in a war with time I can still reach out and touch you And I wish I didn't know the things I know I'm standing in an open door None of it was overrated And I'm never gonna want to let you go But I want you to go Don't even ask me just go I don't remember the faces Just the anger and the haunted places So alive I could taste it on the rain Even the roaches come from somewhere else Leaving a stain where the angels fell In the city where no one knows your name I'm living in a war with time I can still reach out and touch you And I wish I didn't know the things I know I'm standing in an open door None of it was overrated And I'm never gonna want to let you go But I want you to go Don't even ask me just go Hold their eyes make sure they know Stand your ground but see the soul Beneath the pain and broken home With every drop of rain and bone Square your shoulders turn to stone Slowly shake your head for no When you find yourself alone Retrace your steps and come back home I'm living in a war with time I can still reach out and touch you And I wish I didn't know the things I know I'm standing in an open door None of it was overrated And I'm never gonna want to let you go But I want you to go I want you to go I know you want me to And I want you to go I want you to go Don't even ask me just go
