lyrics

WE CAN'T STAY HERE

We will go
Willingly or not, but we will go
We can't stay this way forever
Smile anyway

You will know
Consciously or not, but you will know
Your path is paved with good intentions
Do it anyway

Keep me in the dark
The seconds of our lives will tick away
Keep me in the dark
Tomorrow knows what I don't know today

We can’t stay here anymore (Is there another way?)
It doesn’t serve the purpose that it did before (Is there another way?)
I can only see your face (Is there another way?)
Reflected in a smile from a different time and place (Is there another way?)

Let it go
You can't take it with you, let it go
We took it all for granted
Save me anyway

Oh God no
It may be my time, but I can't go
How the hell did we end up here?
Smile anyway

Keep me in the dark
The seconds of our lives will tick away
Keep me in the dark
Tomorrow knows what I don't know today

We can’t stay here anymore (Is there another way?)
It doesn’t serve the purpose that it did before (Is there another way?)
I will always see your face (Is there another way?)
Reflected in a smile from a different time and place (Is there another way?)

We can’t stay here anymore (Is there another way?)
We can’t stay here anymore (Is there another way?)
Reflected in a smile from a different time and place (Is there another way?)
I will always see your face (Is there another way?)

(Is there another way?)
(Is there another way?)
(Is there another way?)
(Is there another way?)
