A War With Time

Orijinal

I don't remember the timeline

Just December and the eastern skyline

It was just my time to go

It wasn't even a cold night

Disappointed in the northern nights

I always thought there'd be snow

400 people on a broken wheel

When the plane touched down in a concrete minefield

I guess we all made it out okay

Following the streets to a sliver of blue

You can lose the sky and it can lose you too

But you get a little lost to find your way

I'm living in a war with time

I could still reach out and touch you

And I wish I didn't know the things I know

I'm standing in an open door

None of it was overrated

And I'm never gonna wanna let you go

But I want you to go

Don't even ask me, just go

I don't remember the faces

Just the anger and the haunted places

So alive I could taste it on the rain

Even the roaches come from somewhere

Leaving a stain where the angels fell

In the city where no one knows your name

I'm living in a war with time

I could still reach out and touch you

And I wish I didn't know the things I know

I'm standing in an open door

None of it was overrated

And I'm never gonna wanna let you go

But I want you to go

Don't even ask me, just go

Ooh, oh-oh

Hold their eyes, make sure they know

Stand your ground but see the soul

Beneath the pain and broken home

With every drop of rain and bone

Square your shoulders, turn to stone

Slowly shake your head for no

When you find yourself alone

Retrace your steps and come back home

I'm living in a war with time

I could still reach out and touch you

And I wish I didn't know the things I know

I'm standing in an open door

None of it was overrated

And I'm never gonna wanna let you go

But I want you to go

I want you to go (I know you wanted me to)

And I want you to go (go)

I want you to go

Don't even ask me, just go
