This song totally ended up in a different place than I imagined it would. And I'm totally OK with that.
lyrics
v1:
When the truth hits like a bomb
There's nothing left here but a song
No one left to ride along to what comes next
-----
It's not just "either/or"
Sometime's it's gotta be "what for?"
It's gonna be a little more than we expect
v2:
Take heart in who you are
Farewell to fading stars
Don't you know that life is larger than your view
-----
'Cause you can't rhyme every verse
You'll only make it worse
So keep searching for the words to make it new
ch:
No matter who
No matter who stands in your way
'Cause it ain't true
There's always more than just "leave or stay"
v3:
Don't confuse your left from right
There's no trading day for night
If you believe in second sight, the joke's on you
-----
There's only water, earth & air
There's danger & despair
But there's beauty everywhere, you know it's true
ch:
No matter who
No matter who stands in your way
'Cause it ain't true
There's always more than just "leave or stay"
v1.5:
When the truth hits like a bomb
There's nothing left here but a song
No one left to ride along to what comes next
