All that we needed was right The threshhold is breaking tonight Open to everything happy and sad Seeing the good when it's all going bad Seeing the sun when I can't really see Hoping the sun will at least look at me Focus on everything better today All that I need and I never could say Hold on people they're slipping away Hold on to this while it's slipping away All that we needed tonight Are people who love us and like I know how it feels to mean it Oh and we leave here, the seas Open to everything happy and sad Seeing the good when it's all going bad Seeing the sun when I can't really see Hoping the sun will at least look at me Focus on everything better today All that I need and I never could say Hold on people they're slipping away Hold on to this while it's slipping away So long So long Open to everything happy and sad Seeing the good when it's all going bad Seeing the sun when I can't really see Hoping the sun will at least look at me Focus on everything better today All that I need and I never could say Hold on to people they're slipping away [14x]
