THE DOWNS HAVE BEEN WAY DOWN
THE UPS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN COMING AROUND
THE TIMES WILL GET TOUGH
THEY TELL ME I'M TOUGHER
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'M TOUGH ENOUGH

THE ANSWERS I'VE FOUND
ARE LOST AMONG THIS LOUD CITY SOUNDS
I WANT TO MOVE FORWARD
BUT I'M STUCK BACK HERE
WITH NOTHING BUT QUESTIONS AND NOTHING IS CLEAR

NO ONE IS WISER BUT EVERYONE'S OLDER
REPAETING MISTAKES LOOKING OVER OUR SHOULDERS
ARE WE NEVER GONNA LEARN?
I WANT TO ESCAPE, LEAVE MY TROUBLES BEHIND
BUT NO MATTER WHERE I GO I'M STUCK IN MY MIND
AND I REALLY, REALLY WANT TO LEAVE

SO DON'T LET ME GO

COME CLOSE IF YOU DARE
MY PATIENCE NEVER COMES UP FOR AIR
I HEAR 'EM COMPLAINING
IT'S ALWAYS THEIR FAULT
THEY NEVER WANT TO WALK WHAT THEY TALK

IF I KNEW A WAY
TO DROWN IT OUT, CONVINCE ME TO STAY
OVER AND OVER THE BURDEN'S SO MUCH
I FALL OUT OF LOVE WITH EACH THING THAT I TOUCH

NO ONE IS WISER BUT EVERYONE'S OLDER
REPAETING MISTAKES LOOKING OVER OUR SHOULDERS
ARE WE NEVER GONNA LEARN?
I WANT TO ESCAPE, LEAVE MY TROUBLES BEHIND
BUT NO MATTER WHERE I GO I'M STUCK IN MY MIND
AND I REALLY, REALLY WANT TO LEAVE

SO DON'T LET ME GO
