lyrics

Sunrise on a time that I forgot
It’s been a minute since two weeks became a whole lot
The faces start to blend together
Playing over in my head on a rerun binge watch
How long since we just shared a breath
It’s been a few years
Can I please just rest
What I’d give just to share my head
It’s been a few years, god just give me this
Back to before we were like this
What do we do when the world has ended
Back to before we were broken
Where do we go when we all need mended
I suppose that it’s not all doom and glow
Time gave me flowers to bring to bloom
I let myself glow, I let myself heal
I let myself grow and I feel
So damn good
I believe in myself
It’s the end of the world
And I've got stories to tell
How long since we just shared a breath
It’s been a few years
Can I please just rest
What I’d give just to share my head
It’s been a few years, god just give me this
When we go back to before we were like this
We’ll light the spark that ignites the magic
Back to before we were broken
We’ll heal our wounds and begin to mend it
