You are so young, and I guess I'm old
Open your eyes, and I'll keep mine close
I prefer standing, and you take a seat
I'll be wide awake and you'll be asleep
and you fall down a hole
that's the one place that we both know
you'd take me with you if you could but I wouldn't go
I guess at sometimes we both loose our minds
find a better road
I can be pensive, you can be so sure
you'll be the poison, you'll be the cure
I'm alone on the journey
Im alive none the less
and when you do your very worst mmm it feels the best
and you fall down a hole
that's the one place that we both know
you'd take me with you if you could but i wouldn't go
I guess at sometimes we both lose our minds
to find a better road
mmmmmmm
and you fall down a hole
that's the one place in this world that we wouldn't go
you'd take me with you if you could,
if you could I'd lose everything
can't you see their faces melting as the sun rains from their eyes
ooh their gonna keep your head with the hearts that you hang behind
look at yourself, look in the mirror, don't you see a lie?
that you tell yourself again a thousand times
and the truth that makes us laugh will make you cry
you wanna die, no
So you fall down a hole
that's the one place that we both know
you'd take me with you if you could but i wouldn't go
because sometimes we both lose our minds
find a better road
