v1
Looking into this world,
Never knowing if he sees me.
Taking to this girl,
I never knew that love could be so easy.

And watching the man on the T.V. show,
He always seems to know things will be okay.
But what if things don’t go the way he thought they’d go
Oh no, what would he say

ch1
Cause the rents two twenty-five
In this dive there are no exceptions.
And my love for existence remains my resistant perception.

v2
In a world that you created
While I was faded and I missed the show.
And in time, I might not be so jade
My life not complicated, and you might know.

A man once thought his life was only about his choice.
He couldn’t even hear his voice unless he had a dream
But that dream never came, and his heart stayed the same
As it was all along. And I’m still singing this song.
Oh, such a dream.

ch2
So all hands on deck this ship’s gonna wreck if we don’t let go.
For all of the things that I learned I believe that I still don’t know.
I feel like this might be the last time I see your face.
And if it’s true it’s a love that I know I just can’t replace.

(instrumental)
