Intro 00:40
Your heart beats faster than mine That doesn't mean I don't care Nor that I won't try I said your heart beats faster than mine BEATS FASTER THAN MINE!

This somehow happened in a blink of an eye Always influenced by those who said they knew This... This wasn't meant to last BY RETAKING THAT WRONG TURN Reimagining what's said to be there Something changed getting to the root again Crossing the road leaving you behind Eye for an eye, igniting at first sight So I conquer the night Wandering to places Unable to find Some peace in how we've turned out And you're always hurting And I'm still neglecting your sorrow, to stay alive Still waiting for that opportunity Just a moment to show the world we know Then I guess this feels all right Certain about what we said to be there A golden thorn, stuck in my mind again Crossing the road not sure of what I'll find Eye for an eye, igniting at first sight So I conquer the night Wandering to places Unable to find Some peace in how we've turned out And you're always hurting And I'm still neglecting your sorrow, to stay alive Not in control, waking from the fall Fearing what to do, losing my sanity Not in control, you caught the undertone Fearing what to do, losing my sanity Not in control, waking from the fall Fearing what to do, losing my sanity

As of late there've been changes Story after story you lost your grip, face it So when you wake up, shake up, covered in sweat Change that back to the fact it won't bend Everything always fell into place and Now the glass is shattered we both have to learn our places A moment of patience, solitude and straight faces You know what's been going on, what's been going on Don't be so upset, you say we have a future let's not worry about the past I know we have our moments but they never truly last And I would leave your slate clean but it's already a mess, already a mess As of late there've been changes Story after story you lost your grip, face it So when you wake up, shake up, covered in sweat Change that back to the fact it won't bend And you've been taking chances, rolling dices Waiting where we would strand We both know I did the best I can YOU WIPE THE BLOOD OFF YOUR HANDS! Believe me when I tell you I'd love it all the way if I could Lose the point of why we argue About what we've already been through As of late there've been changes Story after story you lost your grip, face it So when you wake up, shake up, covered in sweat Change that back to the fact it won't bend And you've been taking chances, rolling dices Waiting where we would strand We both know I did the best I can YOU WIPE THE BLOOD OFF YOUR HANDS!

Now I stand here, waiting for a while Was that the hardest part, trying to find your way back home Dodge the bullet, point your finger, take the blame in all that's left Now I still stand here, waiting for a sign It's all in vain... HEY! I guess things didn't go as planned Two long years and I found out first hand You know that lately I fear that I'm drifting away I keep running in circles while your presence fades If only I could turn the clock back Forget what it means to get stuck Take all of the shit we've lost back To where it belongs And every year in August The rain starts to fall And I think of last year And my blood starts to boil My blood starts boiling My blood starts boiling My blood starts boiling Pick up all the pieces, over half of 'em are lost IT'S BEEN TOO LONG! It's been too long for you to say we move along You know that lately I fear that I'm drifting away I keep running in circles while your presence fades Well I can hardly breathe So I scream out my lungs But you are too far gone To ever hear these songs And every year in August The rain starts to fall And I think of last year And my blood starts to boil Lately I fear that I am drifting away Running in circles, while your presence fades AWAY YEAH MY BLOOD STARTS BOILING OH MY BLOOD STARTS BOILING I'm thinking, that you know This is enough for me This is enough for me I'm done with all these second chances If we could both stop pretending Remember what's left to mend And we'll get a grip...

High Hopes 02:59
You ponder on thoughts you have when your mind's clear Inferring you were just, you were strong You altered the route to set foot on the new land That’s how we came undone Cause I am done With swallowing my pride and apologize for your interpretations through sunken eyes I woke up, covered ground in hindsight Until I found favor with these drunken nights I WON'T BE WAITING FOR YOU I'm still following your old mindset Based my will for betterment I had high hopes And you expected nothing in return Or so I've heard Well those dreams are on the ropes Walk on the border And break away further There's no time for me here to linger So I wore my heart on my sleeve And now you tell me you fail to remember Enough of all the have been, could've been Could it be that you have compromised I woke up, covered ground in hindsight Until I found favor with these drunken nights I WON'T BE WAITING FOR YOU I'm still following your old mindset Based my will for betterment I had high hopes And you expected nothing in return Or so I've heard Well those dreams are on the ropes I forgot the way you amazed and convinced me How you took the weight off my shoulders But I’m not who I was way back when we first met And I regret what I said but that doesn’t mean that I was wrong
