I didn't know I could sing 

Until you came, and gave me a song

I didn't know I could bleed

Until you cut my dreams away from me

Bury this piece of myself 

Deep in the ground and let it burn as I walk away 

The smoke on my fingers and hands

Stains the air as I kneel to pray

[Chorus]

Oh, I swear this life we were sold is counterfeit 

So, it's hard just finding the strength to carry it

'Cause this weight is contagious 

While we wait on a savior 

To carry us away

Carry us away

10,000 days in the dust

And I've broken bones, oh I've broken trust 

10,000 more to adjust

Before the wolf comes home

And reveals our love was lust

[Chorus]

I want to learn how to sing

Not just a song, 

but something I believe

[Chorus]

You plucked me out of the sky

Tied down my wings so I couldn't fly

But I fell in love on the ground

It's harder to sing with your head in the clouds

Every kiss we stole

Taught us that love burns slow

You sang like whiskey and wine

And I gladly drank from every line

We shared the air in our lungs

But you pulled away for the glory of one

Every vow we spoke

Taught us that love needs hope

Oh, every stone that you cast

Left a mark my love

Bone of bone

Flesh of flesh

You gave all but love

I caught a glimpse of the sky

Remembered a time when I used to fly

Your presence lingers like smoke

Proof of a fire now just a glow

I love it when the air gets colder

Reminds me that nothing stays the same 

Oh I suppose I'm getting older

But these bones don't break

I love the way this city haunts me

But I hate the way it says my name

I hear it echo in the alley

When the twilight fades

And I'm a stranger to myself

[Chorus]

I shake the pack find the last loose cigarette

I refuse to tell you that 

This feels like falling down

Take a breath and feel a chill crawlin up my back

I'll find the words to tell you that

I'm leaving with the fall

Someplace colder

Someplace new

I rose with the sun in Dallas Texas

Went to my job and dreamt of names for all my songs

Oh I suppose that I'm just restless

But these days are getting long

And I'm a stranger to myself

[Chorus]

Because this feels like falling down

Like falling down

Falling down

To be a stranger to yourself

I rose with the moon tonight in Tokyo

Wandered the streets in search of stages for my songs

Oh I suppose I'm getting closer

But I could be wrong

Cause we're all strangers to ourselves

Lost inside that dream again

Where the skyline changes every night 

Thirsty eyes drink us in

Every breath hangs on the melodies we write

[Chorus]

What's ours is ours and we see it in the stars at night

What's ours is ours every dream and every small delight 

What's ours is ours so I hold onto you tightly 

Because what ours is ours and baby you are mine

It's all ashes to ashes buried in lace 

We bought the grave at the cost of living life 

Oh is in a tragic things that we chase 

But just say the word I'd sell my shoes and leave tonight

[Chorus]

Every broken string and half-written song 

The tears you hide when the days get long

The nights we spent feeling young and free 

That filled our hearts and shook our knees 

Battles won and lost and fought 

To prove it wasn't all for naught

Every sky that followed us 

Since you took my hand and gave your trust

[Chorus]

Pain is like the ocean

Deep dark and bigger than me

But love could be the current

That brings you to me

Hey yea

You change like the skyline

You burn me up with vows you can't keep

You could be the night after night's long relief

Hey yea

[Chorus]

I fall in love every hour of the day

Every new smile holds my glance for a while

You lay down your armor just to fall on my blade 

But you could be my remedy

Your lips are like a melody

I remember the words but can't make myself sing

It hasn't been the same without your harmony 

Hey yea

[Chorus]

Every night (Every night)

Every day (Every day)

I can't give you my heart

I can't wish you away

Every hour (Every hour)

Peels away (Peels away)

If I'm yours it's for good

I'm just after the chase

You could be my remedy (x4)

What's the word to describe it

The feeling you've lost and can't find it 

Wheres the time and place that it was last seen?

What's her name, I remember 

The spirit you broke last December 

Just to see if you could

Cause there's hope for the beggar 

And grace for the thief 

And these menial sins we've committed have teeth 

And they gnash

[Chorus]

Cause we'er rising and falling 

We've set our eyes on a light that's growing 

This promise is swelling like daggers it's crashing

On shores left empty

Press on through the storm

We've been pulled down before

Drew in our lungs, there was peace in our death there

[Chorus]

Rise and fall (x4)

And we rise  (x 4)
