Away From The Mire

Remember the time

We were both eye to eye

And we both knew the reasons why

It seemed like we faced the world on our own

Before we collide

Can we just take a moment

Collecting reflections of this

And remember the paths that we chose

Spring lied to us this year again

I can't stand to face the fear again

You could always laugh about those things

It's enough to make a man feel sour

Burning minutes every day by the hour

Just to end up gone like everything else

Let go of the pain and hold onto the rhythm

It's consciously held back in you

You're drowning a sorrow that's long been at rest

The past is a hell, it can creep up inside you

So let me remind you of this

It's the reason your troubles exist

Spring lied to us again this year

And still, I can't stand to face the fear

Will you always laugh about those things?

It's enough to make a man stay humble

Every day is just a new chance to stumble

Just to end up gone like everything else

If ever a time

Comes around in the wheel

To replace where we stand side-by-side

We'll be ready and able to fly

Away from the mire

And the senseless decisions

Of somebody's wasted desire

Through the smoke and the wind and the fire

Spring lied to us this year again

I can't stand to face that fear again

You could always laugh about those things

It's enough to make a man feel sour

Burning minutes every day by the hour

Just to end up gone like everything else

Remember the time

We were both eye to eye

And we both knew the reasons why

It seemed like we faced the world on our own

Before we collide

Can we just take a moment

Collecting reflections of this

And remember the paths that we chose

Spring lied to us again this year

And still, I can't stand to face the fear

Will you always laugh about those things?

It's enough to make a man feel sour

Burning minutes every day by the hour

Just to end up gone like everything else
