When we get it right
Crowded places get you down
There's nothing in this town we haven't seen before
Going back around means nothing to me now
But these four walls are stifling --
Reminders of big dreams lost in tired routines
Outside we are bustling
Inside, we're busting at the seams
We can make anything a tragedy
And that's exactly what we do, it seems
Making mountains from little things
Hide the forest with the trees
Lost in our memories
How it could, how it should be
But we're still breathing
Our hearts; still beating
We're great when we get it right
Sometimes it's wrong; we can't win them all
But that's alright
We're great when we get it right
We are contagious
Silence is deafening and I regret ever listening
The quiet sound of breaking hearts
Brooding in the dark; two rooms apart
waiting for you, waiting for me
I hide in my disease; you're inclined to leave
Please wait, turn back and come for me
You take a lot on your plate
I'm serving it hot today; frozen faced
I'm starving myself again; hungry to let you in
You can see the struggle it takes
It's hard for me to share everything
Please stay, my knees are starting to bend
As long as we're still breathing
If our hearts are still beating
The fight will never end
We can't win them all
But that's alright
We're great when we get it right
There's nothing in this town we haven't seen before
Going back around means nothing to me now
But these four walls are stifling --
Reminders of big dreams lost in tired routines
Outside we are bustling
Inside, we're busting at the seams
We can make anything a tragedy
And that's exactly what we do, it seems
Making mountains from little things
Hide the forest with the trees
Lost in our memories
How it could, how it should be
But we're still breathing
Our hearts; still beating
We're great when we get it right
Sometimes it's wrong; we can't win them all
But that's alright
We're great when we get it right
We are contagious
Silence is deafening and I regret ever listening
The quiet sound of breaking hearts
Brooding in the dark; two rooms apart
waiting for you, waiting for me
I hide in my disease; you're inclined to leave
Please wait, turn back and come for me
You take a lot on your plate
I'm serving it hot today; frozen faced
I'm starving myself again; hungry to let you in

As long as we're still breathing
If our hearts are still beating
The fight will never end
We can't win them all
But that's alright
We're great when we get it right
