lyrics

Our first mistake was staying awake
Our greatest talent is creating chances we shouldn't take
Our strongest trait is ignoring fate
The starting shot was fired but we stand like statues at the gate

We could run but we'd rather wait
We have a narrow view of what we want
And we're alive it's not too late

We're making milestones miles from home
If no one goes with us we'll go it alone
We push ourselves out to sea until we can't turn around
We trade in fixing our lives for the chance to break new ground

We lost our way and think of home every day
All roots trace back to somewhere in which we have no say
It's been so many months in April and we've yet to see May
We have one foot in the past and the other in the grave

We could run but we'd rather wait
We have a hopeless view of what we want
And if we survive it's not too late

We're making milestones miles from home
If no one goes with us we'll go it alone
We push ourselves out to sea until we can't turn around
We trade in fixing our lives for the chance to break new ground
