The Finish Line
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I thought I knew it all
I've been through the highs, said all my goodbyes
Learned to run before I learned to crawl
It's not worth fighting for if one of us is sure
And one of us is dying, trying to find love's cure
I have waited all my life to paint these cities red
Thoughts I've always had here are stuck inside my head
It's not worth waiting for if one of us wants more
And one of us is dying, trying to find love's door
When we learn how to fly
We forget how to walk
When we learn how to sing
We don't wanna hear each other talk
Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are the finish line
And you, you really thought you knew
Everything to do
Holding onto me and holding on this time
Making me slip right through your hands
And now you don't understand
Trying to find love all by yourself
When we learn how to fly
We forget how to walk
When we learn how to sing
We don't wanna hear each other talk
When we know what we want
We forget what we need
When you find who you are
You forget about me
Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line, ah
