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
