Trapped in a cycle, and endless plight of Keep on moving or keep shrinking and shrinking I couldn't seem to make myself break this habit of Overshooting while over thinking It makes the most sense If I'd never thought about you at all If that's the hand that we play out No point in waiting for something else Faults in repressing the change cause It's always been this way It's always, it's always If I'd never thought about you at all

Right now it seems The things I thought I had forgotten and pushed back Have come to claim their stake Clearly now, a moment that I've spent in silence Has enlightened Me to what I've seen Someone is watching From the back of their window Has it always been like this, and I've just never noticed? If I had the time and patience just to write these things out, That I need I'd keep them to myself Now I see everything I built unfolding, expanding Back from years ago Someone is watching From the back of their window Has it always been like this, and I've just never noticed? What you take, take it slowly You forgave, but give it only If you forfeit everything Someone is watching From the back of their window Has it always been like this, and I've just never noticed?

The walls shake, every creak Perfume puddles cause headache Closet it for later, Can't come soon enough The snow falling outside, Rosy elations, the luxury, the leisure Closet it for later, Can't come soon enough Closet it for later, Can't come soon enough We walked up the stairs (left to hold it out) And we flourished (but would it help) Forgot last winter for just a little while It will come again, the clouds will roll in

Did you come here? Much more decisive than the things you've done in past And I saw it, You're barely breathing under all the bones you've cracked Well we're young, and we hope now to be leaving again I once thought you could live and breath inside a place in which you rest I see now you have to leave before the waters at your chest If you stay, it gets stagnant and you paralyze yourself Tell your regretfulness you win I know you're scared of how this might end If it gets better I can't go there ever again And its hard to prove when you doubt yourself When it gets darker know you're always building to something Don't forget what you said Have a little bit of faith in this It's no use now, so follow through Don't forget what you said Have some faith in yourself It's no use now Follow through

I woke up to a scattered scene I watched as the light creeped in We would stop and laugh, but we're miles and miles apart And it always seems like we've followed our father's steps Well, we tried It's for the best you know, but it's never really been this hard It's for the best I think It's a struggle, now lets watch each other sink Watch the years yourself They sink and pass like blurs I thought I'd come here after all this time, Hoping on something to make it right I can't see this fare when every year it's less I can't wait this long, please don't tell me I'll be here Tell yourself it's time Cause it's never gonna feel that right Tell yourself it's time Cause it's never gonna feel that right It's better to accept this trial and take it seriously this time Holding up yourself It's better to accept this trial and take it seriously this time Holding up yourself Nothing ever goes the way it seems Nothing ever goes the way it seems
