lyrics

I found myself in disbelief
We live our lives expecting to survive
Mistakes we make between
The risks we take and change we need

Oh we lived it up beneath the lights
Joking about some other night
When we stayed up on empty streets
But there's no more time for laughs cause you fell asleep

I looked over the edge today,
Where we push ourselves ‘till our bodies break
And wondered when my time would come
Cause I feel a part of me is already gone

My soul is incomplete
Your heart has lost its rhythmic beat
Thought I'd never live without my friends with me
But you couldn't catch your breath and you fell asleep

We spent so much time
Singing songs we didn't write
And hanging out in parking lots for too long
When you moved a ways out of town
I didn't know the clock was ticking down
I wish that I would’ve seen you around once more

I don't know if I have the words
To express the ways your absence hurts
But soon enough, the day will come
When all our work on earth is done

So when you awake again on the other side
And find yourself somewhere else
Apart from us in eternal dreams
Oh I hope that you found rest when you fell asleep
