LYRICS
When we were young and indifferent we could not have known,
This world would chew you up and spit you out on your own, believe me
I know it hurts, It hurts me too just to watch you sinking, I can’t help thinking
Was there something holding you back,
Was the weight of the world on your back so long, you’re sick of the gravity?
Is there someone telling you no, do you wander with nowhere to go,
What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for?
I’m reaching out, please take my hand,
The water’s getting higher and I can’t understand why I can’t pull you in
Do you even care, do you even want me there?
We are the victims, just like our parents taught us to be;
Roots planted firmly but we fell so far from the tree
And still we cling to the past with an iron grip as we all fall fast asleep
Dreaming of security; a chance to redefine the years we wasted living on borrowed time
My will is spent, I used the very last drop trying to keep my head on straight enough
I know it hurts, it hurts to feel it all slip right past you, I just want to ask you
Was there something holding you back
Have you had to cover your tracks so long, you lost your identity?
Is there something dragging you down, crippled under the weight of the crown,
What are you waiting, oh, what are we waiting for?
I’m reaching out, please take my hand,
The water’s getting higher and I can’t understand why I can’t pull you in
Do you even care, do you even want me there?
For all of our differences,
I always said I’d be there if you should come undone
It took all I had in me,
Do you even care, do you even want me there?
There are ghosts at every window
And they’ll follow you back home
But if you’d stay a moment, I could tell you all I know
Of how these times have changed us, how they bring us to our knees
How they send us down a crooked path, divide us temporarily
I’m reaching out, please take my hand,
The water’s getting higher and I can’t understand why I can’t pull you in
Do you even care, do you even want me there?
I said I’m sorry, I swear I’ll do better,
I never thought we’d have to carry this weight together
This is contagion, a plague that I bear
And it kills me to say that I really need you here
