lyrics

It's hard to tell, I think I fell
down into a well deeper than myself
I was once on the top shelf
but here I am, I'm just a man
don't understand just how can
we go on and on and on

Maybe I'm blind, maybe I'm fine
maybe all the time I spent on the people
in my life was a total waste
maybe it's a case, another crazy dude in
time and space trying to save face
by running in a race, yeah.

I blew it, can't move through it
they say to put the past behind, I can't do it
must be something to it
But I can't erase the faces out of my mind
and lately I've been falling in love almost all the time
it's a crime

Cuz every person that you ever love dies,
and every one will either leave you or
close their eyes in their demise
first few times was surprise
but I've come to realize
that it's just the prize of loving

I hear cries for help, so I'm flying to the rescue
I came to get you, don't give up cuz I won't let you.
And don't think through the years that I'll forget you, cuz I won't
even years from now, when I love you and you don't.

That's just the type of guy that I am
my mind works like that, so don't tell me love's a sham
even when the pain is deep, yeah
even when I know I can't keep
and I know I'll see you in my sleep.

Don't talk to me, you aren't real
I'll lock my heart up so you can't steal
because of the past and what I'm attached to
nobody has survived, all my bros are gone too
and then there's you, coming to me on a wild chance
like life is a ball and you and I should probably dance
well I wanna be a wallflower, coming through
don't tell me how to live my life, I never wanted to

-chorus
Wish we could have fell asleep on a snowbank
We could have slept so deep
can we go back someday?
Wish we could have fell asleep on a snowbank
Cuz there's nothing left for me
nothing really left for me
-

I'll be catching waves, having some better days
then a crazy female comes my way, says let's run away
you and me in San Jose, loving every single day
won't fall for a trick like that no more, I'm out the door

I washed upon the shore of regrets galore
wishing once upon a star that never got me very far
don't believe in me, but I believe in you
that's why I'm gonna fall apart when you leave me too

I can't take that chance, not with romance
not even as a friend that just wants to dance
so I take this stance, a state of trance
staring at the wall so I'm never able to fall

But I've seen it all, seen a high king crawl
seen the tallest of the tall talk the talk then fall
but what do I know? I'm just a lover
and I'll just live a life without loving another,
out.

-chorus
Wish we could have fell asleep on a snowbank
We could have slept so deep
can we go back someday?
Wish we could have fell asleep on a snowbank
Cuz there's nothing left for me
nothing really left for me
