The Fighter

right between the eyes
struck down like a fighter
and how tight we cling to life
just a little tighter
we never got the message right
I guess it’s never too late to learn
But if you think we're both satisfied,
doesn’t matter how much it hurts
trapped beneath the ice
one shot to open the door
so get up now, get up now
proof - that you want more
we never got the message right
did you know how much you even cared)
if every time you get up to fight, up to fight
how do you know if you’re even scared
I got up early just to find
a parting glance, a troubled mind
is that what you wanted know?
how did we ever justify
falling for these troubled times
you've got what you wanted

holding on
I’ll be your ride, I'll be your ride, I'll be your ride
feel it all
gimme your high, gimme your high, gimme your high
losing time
falling apart, falling apart, falling apart
so alive
carrying on, carrying on, carrying on
on the rise
keep it inside, keep it inside, keep it inside
and ooh, just let this ride
body and mind, body and mind, body and mind
just surrender what you know is mine
and I'll make it alright, make it alright
cuz you never know if you don’t try
so make it tonight, make it tonight, make it tonight
Oooh (chorus)

Passing of Time

settle down
it’s what you know
and don’t you dare follow that sound
god forbid you might grow
and promise me you’ll never be without
the quieting hand of your own self-doubt
wherever you go
and never look back on what you missed
avert, avert your eyes and never ask
why I held you back from this
running from designs
was all I ever meant
to memorize
the passing of time
I’ve never been hungry for such frivolous ways
til I gazed upon your face
give it up
watch your dreams fade away
give it up, give it up now
they brought you nothin but pain
I can assure you once they’re gone
you’ll believe in the track you’re on,
happily
A steady husband, a beautiful job
rehearse, rehearse the lines until you reap
true emotion from these things
running from designs
was all I ever meant
to memorize
the passing of time
I’ve never been hungry for such frivolous ways
til I gazed upon your face

Lifetime
04:43

remember when
we could pretend
this was everything we wanted and more
we knew it then
but we took our time
like so many times before
I never thought it would be easy
but noone ever said, said it'd ever feel like this.
and if you found the time
would you come and make it mine.
for a lifetime
if you had the time,
would you come and make it mine
for a lifetime
a lifetime
and every day
we counted the ways
we were better off just being alone
so unafraid
of the quiet nights
waiting patient by the phone
just when I thought it might be ending
I felt it coming back, I’ve never felt like this
and if you found the time
would you come and make it mine.
for a lifetime
if you had the time,
would you come and make it mine
for a lifetime
a lifetime
