The hands we shake, the bills we pay, the news
The leaves we rake, the pills we take, the zoo
And I don't think I'll ever know the truth
The love we make, the gifts we take, the booze
And I'm changing tunes
And I don't think I'll ever know the truth
The days we trade lemonade and youth
We turn away, we walk away, it's true

Open up your eyes
Home is calling you
You may be surprised
Hello, daring, nice to see you
Hello, beautiful, what did we do to you?
Locked up, torn apart
Eyes stung from the sun
Hello, darling, nice to see you
Hello, beautiful, what did we do to you?

All the while we need to be
The people we were close to in our dreams
Find ourselves along the way
Give into the the things these people say
Barely make it out alive
Looking up and realize
The dream is what is keeping us in line
Every chance we'd ever take
Discover different paths through our mistakes
It's me who's there beside himself
Waving arms and singing to the air
We put our heads into the sand
Find ourselves and make a stand
Calmly grab our throats with both our hands
It's like we gave into our feelings
Opened up our hearts
To be the ones to be
To be the ones that we should be
In the end the choice is clear
Choosing sides, deciding love or fear
Timing out the rest of it
Making sure the newer pieces fit
Crawling in from outer space
Grabbing those we want to take
Jumping up and running to this place

Sometimes I'm good
Sometimes I'm not
See-saw morals
Ooh
I make my choice
My choice makes me
See-saw morals
See-saw morals
See-saw morals
I'll try
I'll try

In this moment, we move in time
Ever gesture that falls in line
But my heart can stand it
If you don't think it's time
Every movement that falls in line
We're sleepwalking, our brains are blilnd
And my heart can stand it
If you don't think it's time
If you make up your mind
But my heart can stand it
If you don't think it's time
If you make up your mind
I'd take all the things I thought
I'd take everything I know
I need to see you
By the time you look away
Trade my world to make you stay
I need to see you
I'd take all the things I thought
I'd take everything I know
I need to see you
By the time you look away
Trade my world to make you stay
I need to see you

I feel like dancing in the dark
I feel like dancing in the dark
I'll take anybody
I'll take anyone at all

Lights in my eyes, you say it's the setting sun
You draw in circles, five, four, three, two, one
And I write music, three right notes: a song
You write a poem, I'll write a song-a-day
Open the canvas blank, it's a brand new day
Draw stick figures, three wrong notes away
Lights in my eyes, you say it's the rising moon
You draw in circles, I go to bed too soon
As I roll over, I think that this will do
