The Unbearable Weight Of What If

I wake up And join the race Carve a smile into my face And stare out of the window on the train. The blur of blues and greens and greys It always stays the same, It always stays the same. I get up Put on a tie Never stop to question why 'Cause if I stop, I'll never start again. The swarm of suits and dreary days It always stays the same, It always stays the same. Remember when we both were young? Our innocence shined like the sun And all the times we danced through city streets I count them one by one Over before it had begun Now I guess my race is run I get home And pour a drink, I don't want to stop to think 'Cause if I think, I'll never feel the same. The poison pounds and burns my brain It always stays the same, It always stays the same. Late at night, I lie awake, And drown in all of my mistakes, Clawing towards the surface for a breath. The weight weighs heavy on my heart It always stays the same. It always stays the same. Remember when we both were young? Our innocence shined like the sun And all the times we danced through city streets I count them one by one Over before it had begun Now I guess my race is run I don't know how many hours I've spent Staring at these four walls Waiting for a sense of purpose to fall from the sky Why do we do it? Go through it all day after day It always stays the same Remember when we both were young? Our innocence shined like the sun And all the times we danced through city streets I count them one by one Over before it had begun Now I guess my race is run
