[Verse 1]
When it all began, was it time that we asked for?
Or was it anything to feel complete forevermore?
Wanna see myself like I used to back then
But every time I turn around I’m in LA again
Don’t take this for granted, that’s not how we planned it
I know, we’re tearing these pages
Before we get to watch it unfold
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, it’s a long road
You think your time is running out
Gotta be looking up when it goes down
[Chorus]
Know that I’ve seen better days
Turned and looked the other way
But with you I can’t see past the crystal ball
(To all we ever wanted)
I can’t fight this disconnection
You can see my imperfection
Still, at least I’ll never be ungrateful
[Verse 2]
Opposite of here there’s a bold faced enemy
But sure enough, when I look up
It’s myself staring back at me
I’m not saying there’s a reason
Close it up and leave it, even though
We’d still be tearing the pages
Before the rest of it changes
So let’s go
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause it’s a long road
You think your time is wearing thin
Remember to breathe out when you dive in
(Oh, when you dive in)
[Chorus]
Know that I’ve seen better days
Turned and looked the other way
But with you I can’t see past the crystal ball
(To all we ever wanted)
I can’t fight this disconnection
You can see my imperfection
Still, at least I’ll never be ungrateful
[Bridge]
I think my nights are my days
I can feel you slipping away
So savor every moment
Don’t you stay in disarray
I think my nights are my days
I can feel you slipping away
Can we savor every moment
Find ourselves along the way
I confess
[Pre-Chorus 2]
That it’s a long road
You think your time is running out
Gotta be looking up when it goes down
[Chorus]
Know that I’ve seen better days
Turned and looked the other way
But with you I can’t see past the crystal ball
(To all we ever wanted)
I can’t fight this disconnection
You can see my imperfection
Still, at least I’ll never be ungrateful
