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
400 people on a broken wheel And 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 I 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 wanna let you go
But I want you to go
Don't even ask me to 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 Even 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 wanna let you go But I want you to go
Don't even ask me to just go
Hold their eyes,
make sure they know Stand your ground,
but see the soul
Beneath the pain of a broken home With every drop of rain and bone
Raise your arms,
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
