It was a chance you took, everything was good
Until you went back inside for a second look
Holding out your hand, did you understand?
Crossing all of those lines and crawling back
Slipping from your skin you couldn't keep it in
Overgrown, wearing thin
Silent as you whined around at another sound
You missed your turn, slowing down
Caught in the lights and left again
Without the time to forget
Coming up for air from the hollow prayer
You were sleeping through as you went nowhere
The cold would come as they'd always done
And run into almost anyone
Curled in the rocks beyond their days
Leaving the rest to find their way
The tempered tried as they rushed to hide
Already gone with no goodbyes
Locked-up and out of key you'd hear them sing
The distant songs with familiar rings
Luring you out until you could
Remember the chance you took
