I can see it now, tripping on split stones Trying to make hits so we could play them loud Picking at our souls like we didn’t know Just like we were only playing with the sound Trying to control what was so low But I never knew how then to just go and let it out Get it out But if you could fight, if you could choose If you could say all the things you wanted to If you couldn't lie If you would only move like you had something to lose If you could cry, if you couldn't sleep it off If you could feel everything you've ever caused If you couldn't lie If you would only move like you had something to lose Like you had something to lose Like you had something to lose And I’m not saying I would always speak up That it didn’t creep up on me all the time I’m just saying there was a window Where you could’ve let go in that place and time Laughing all it off like it was innocent Oh, but all I ever wanted was to get rid of it and let it out Get it out But if you could fight, if you could choose If you could say all the things you wanted to If you couldn't lie If you would only move like you had something to lose If you could cry, if you couldn't sleep it off If you could feel everything you've ever caused If you couldn't lie If you would only move like you had something to lose Like you had something to lose Like you had something to lose And I can see us there You staring at me And me just praying for air I can see us there Standing cheek to cheek And counting week by week Wishing everything would be clear I can see us there I can see us there But if you could fight, if you could choose If you could say all the things you wanted to If you couldn't lie If you would only move like you had something to lose If you could cry, if you couldn't sleep it off If you could feel everything you've ever caused If you couldn't lie If you would only move like you had something to lose Like you had something to lose Like you had something to lose Like you had something to lose
