[Verse 1]
Why do I feel bad again?
I shouldn't be sad or miss a grin
Doubt creeps in and doubt creeps out
Skews the view from my cloud
Troublemaker tempting fate
Questioning the path I take
Showing me the twists and turns
The forks and points of no return
[Chorus]
I would hold my breath so long
To wash ashore where I belong
[Verse 2]
Broken roses on the steps
Like promises I never kept
Promises I never made
But could have honored anyway
Tied to years, slave to fears
I will always hold you dear
Tired, troubled but sincere
Wishing... fuck the rhyme
Wishing I had a time
To wish, to wish, to wish you mine
[Bridge]
Every day I choose to spend the rest of my life with her
And every day I break the molds of lives and worlds
I already miss the things that I will never know
I will never know the things that I've already missed
[Chorus]
I would hold my breath so long
To wash ashore where I belong
I would hold my breath so long
To wash ashore where I belong
To wash ashore where I belong
To wash ashore where I belong
