We're Back

Can you remember when hours got turned into days Days turned into years that somehow took our breath away It feels so unnatural, not having something to say When hope evaporated and now currency has changed Now we're waking from our fevered dream To realize that things are not as bad as they once seemed It's hard to keep it goin' when the pain feels like it's everlastin' I used to call these things to mind, but now they're calls to action A mustard seed of faith can turn into the main attraction Look what happens when you mix a chord progression with a splash of passion The things we hold dear have never been made so clear When you think about what you were striving for and realize it was always near Took every moment of stress as another moment to just reflect Finding diamonds within the coal no matter how hard that it gets, for real If I'm honest, I might not be willing to name all the things that I lost If I'm honest, I might not be facing my shame or counting the actual cost I see the light breaking through, dreams about normal finally coming true Thank God, thank me, thank you Oh baby we're back! Thank God we're back From that collective heart attack, thank God we're back To sights and sounds of friends and crowds We're back, Thank God we're back You and me here finally, thank God we're back Uh-huh, the things we learned the hardest way to make it through our darkest days Tried to keep our chin up when the dawn just seemed so far away Washed our hands of bitter words that sometimes we might start to say But showin' love is the best weapon when we gotta target pain 'Cause now we're back, and when it happens like that You gotta thank God, gotta thank everything you know you couldn't lack This ain't no cap, don't need a welcome mat with how we layin' out facts Kinda feels like a wake-up slap, and I'm usually not one for talkin' smack I saw things I'd rather not, I said my prayers But somehow things hit different when it feels like no one cares It's not the intensity that breaks your soul It's the constant dripping that won't stop – it's making us grow old Ironic t-shirts read "keep calm and carry on" Is this imagination, or could it finally be dawn If I'm honest, I might not be willing to name all the things that I lost If I'm honest, I might not be facing my shame or counting the actual cost I see the light breaking through, dreams about normal finally coming true Thank God, thank me, thank you Oh baby we're back! Thank God we're back From that collective heart attack, thank God we're back To sights and sounds of friends and crowds We're back, Thank God we're back You and me here finally, thank God we're back Thank God we're back You and me here in finally, thank God we're back
