Taking The World On

And it ends like this

with a quote from an 80's song

"sing me to sleep"

she was hoping for it all along

i took the letter from my bed

and blacked out every line i read

except for seven words

that made so much sense to her

it's like one voice in the choir

burried by the rest

holding our breath til there's nothing left

it's too hard taking the world on

too hard taking the world on

she's the one true artist

the last of a dying breed

an unguarded heart is

the one thing you'll never need

the snow has never looked like this

the city never stops to rest

she's off to start a war

is this worth fighting for?

this is like the flash that lights up your picture

coming from the crowd

throwing fists through the air when there's no one there

it's too hard taking the world on

too hard taking the world on

carving our names so the past remains

it's too hard taking the world on

too hard taking the world on

stand up, the keys, and then the car

drive up, the porch, and then the door

two knocks, the lock, and there you are

say what i could not say before

standing our ground til the walls come down

it's too hard taking the world on

too hard taking the world on
