THE RIDE DOWN lyrics : "The Words You Read"
And sure they budge, but never for me
I've dug deep too deep to find my way out of this town
In high school you never quite knew me
I guess that means we're not meant to be
Where'd this go? I didn't think so
Sit back and watch how far we go
Did you find a way to compromise?
Did you fix your problems or forget to solve them?
And your memories are now the words you read
Times have changed, but not for me
Let's just forget how I wrote your story
Hey your standing on a tight rope
Look down and know this is all she wrote
How's it feel to be hanging on?
Letting go sounds good until you start to fall
And I know we're staying here to find (a simple song, a simple line)
On a path that leaves us blind (taking words of spite to turn them into rhymes)
(Chorus)
We played ball late in the park, you stayed still till after dark
I asked if we could stay the same, the look in your eyes said you already changed
I stand for things that don't stand for me, but the harder I try the further that they seem
We all break through, but you break me
Lets all sing along, our story rests in peace
