I know the fire's burning low, I know
Still there's better days to come
I plant a seed and watch it grow the tower over me
And hope the roofs don't hold me down
Too deep for words I never meant to mean no sympathy
When swimming in the waves means heartache either way
I held my own, I walked alone
And these words are all I've found, take your head out of the ground
I know the fire's burning low
Still there's better days to come
I know the water's turning cold
But all the world keeps spinnin' round, I never planned on getting out
I never planned on getting out
So I let this be the last time I get caught up in my mind
Oh I see past the bigger picture here
Watch our problems fall and stack
But I'm here I'll send them back
Wave goodbye as they just disappear
I held my own, I walked alone
And these words are all I found, take your head out of the ground
I know the fire's burning low
Still there's better days to come
I know the water's turning cold
But all the world keeps spinnin' round, I never planned on getting out
I never planned on getting out
But all the world keeps spinnin' round, I never planned on getting out
I never planned on getting out
So
Put your frozen fists aside
Cross your heart don't hope to die
Look yourself in the eyes and you'll be alright
Leave the problems at the door
They're not welcome anymore
Look yourself in the eyes and you'll be alright
I know the fire's burning low
Still there's better days to come
But all the world keeps spinnin' round, I never planned on getting out
I never planned on getting out
