[Intro]
Everybody's doing what they think they’re supposed to do
But, the best teacher in life is experience
Not viewed from someone else's distorted point of view
"happiness consists in realizing
It's all a great strange dream"
"Nothing behind me
Everything ahead of me"
[Verse 1]
I try my best to be
Who I thought I should be
But it’s not Heu's ghost, no
That story's been told
I search for my escape
Couldn't be bold and braze
Another chapter is born and
The story goes on
[Bridge]
If I wrote you a song
With everything you want to hear
(I don't really care, just as long as I get you there)
Could your heart be my home
Cause it's too dead and cold out here
[Chorus]
Troubled times these days
You're my vis, my great escape
Call me from my grave
Maybe be the one who stays
[verse 2]
Sometimes these colors fade
Can't seem to turn the page
(but I’m a sucker for the paper bag
Be the cover, make the story last)
Or do you find yourself in me? (find yourself)
Cause I’ve been searching my whole life
For someone like you
[bridge]
If I wrote you a song
With everything you want to hear
(I don't really care, just as long as I get you there)
Could your heart be my home
Cause it’s too dead and cold out here
[Chorus]
Troubled times these days
You're my vis, my great escape
Call me from my grave
Maybe be the one who stays
Troubled times these days
You're my vis, my great escape
Call me from my grave
Maybe be the one who stays
