Back in Five

Lately all I've wanted is to see straight
But I cross my eyes and dot my Ts too late
Maybe I need glasses for the eye strain
But my vision's so much clearer yesterday
I say hey

Maybe it's a long way to heaven
And I probably couldn't get in if I tried
I often wonder if they know where I've been
And if that's enough to strike out when I die

'Cause God ain't on my horizon
That store's been boarded up for days
And there's a sign that reads Back in Five, but I go in anyway

Well, I had a friend once tell me 'bout the irony of life
How saints smoke cigarettes and sinners never die
How you can love until it hurts from the comfort of your walls
Things that make being a mess seem not so bad at all
So maybe it's okay to have a ball

So take down all the pictures of my past now
'Cause none of that shit matters anymore
And there's time to breathe and time to heal
And a reason to find out what's real
I just need to pick myself off the floor

'Cause God ain't on my horizon
That store's been boarded up for days
And there's a man telling me to live my life, so I listen
I wouldn't trade these ways 'til I die, 'cause they fit me
And there's a sign that reads Back in Five, but I go in anyway
Oh, I go in anyway
