lyrics
It could go either way
So I’ve been praying making sure for no mistakes
It’s hard but I’m listening
I wanna walk until we can’t see home anymore
Suddenly somewhere lost in the world
My only fear’s that you don’t care
So I act like I don’t fight every night
& this will be the best or the worst thing that I ever knew
And I’m stretchin out
You got me now
It’s coming down in or out
Before long we’ll say it out loud
And if only it was the same
What you did and what you say
I can take it either way
If only I knew what to think
If we just kinda lye here quiet and wait
And we wait
But I’ve never known
the line between playing your cards right and fate
so this will be the best or the worst thing that I ever knew
And I’m stretchin out
You got me now
It’s coming down in or out
Before long we’ll say it out loud
And it’s stretchin out
It’s getting loud
Yeah I see it all
We’ll rise and never fall
Just believe and keep breathing beautiful
And I will save it
Yes I will save it
Yes I will save it
And we’ll never fall
So I’ve been praying making sure for no mistakes
It’s hard but I’m listening
I wanna walk until we can’t see home anymore
Suddenly somewhere lost in the world
My only fear’s that you don’t care
So I act like I don’t fight every night
& this will be the best or the worst thing that I ever knew
And I’m stretchin out
You got me now
It’s coming down in or out
Before long we’ll say it out loud
And if only it was the same
What you did and what you say
I can take it either way
If only I knew what to think
If we just kinda lye here quiet and wait
And we wait
But I’ve never known
the line between playing your cards right and fate
so this will be the best or the worst thing that I ever knew
And I’m stretchin out
You got me now
It’s coming down in or out
Before long we’ll say it out loud
And it’s stretchin out
It’s getting loud
Yeah I see it all
We’ll rise and never fall
Just believe and keep breathing beautiful
And I will save it
Yes I will save it
Yes I will save it
And we’ll never fall
