[Verse: Ryan Miller/Miller & Adam Gardner]
A gaping wound tells the story of it all
A man lost only to find
What was left of his mind
With no hope of a scar at all
You say go slow
But something's right behind me
I can run away for only so long
It will not stop
I will come down
Oh no
[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Miller]
Let me find my way
I'll take you to the edge
Go across that window
And I'll carry you there
[Chorus: Ryan Miller/Miller & Adam Gardner]
Woah, when nothing goes right
Woah, when days don't come tonight
Oh, when all I see, is the error of my own enemy
[Verse 2: Ryan Miller/Miller & Adam Gardner]
A man alone and cut and torn for it
His whole life friend after friend
They're all flash in the pan
With no hope of rejoice at all
You say go slow
But something's right behind me
Can run away, for only so long
It will not stop
I will come down
Oh no
[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Miller, Adam Gardner, Both]
Let me find my way
(Don't be scared of what you might be saying)
I'll take you to the edge
(Throw away those empty fields)
I'll go across that window
(Throw away those)
And I'll carry you there
[Chorus: Ryan Miller, Adam Gardner, Both]
Oh when nothing goes right
Oh, when days don't come tonight
(Throw away those empty fields)
I'll go across that window
(Throw away those)
And I'll carry you
