I can understand
Why you're holding on
For dear life
We don't want to be
Left out in the cold
Waiting here to die
I'd spent all my life
Holding to a truth
Stay in line
Don't stray
We're so fortunate
This is absolute
Light of mine
One way
Then I heard a voice
So loud so clear
Like I never had before
And I never would again
I can understand
Why you're holding on
For dear life
We don't want to be
Left out in the cold
Waiting here to die
Set out on my own
One foot then the next
Breathing free
Lighter
Carried so much weight
Sticking to the text
Didn't need
Either
When you choose to live
Right here right now
Stop looking towards the sky
Life isn't such a drag
I can understand
Why you're holding on
For dear life
We don't want to be
Left out in the cold
Waiting here to die
I'm not here
To try and change your mind
We're all trying to make sense of
This wild and worn out life
I can understand
Why you're holding on
For dear life
We don't want to be
Left out in the cold
Waiting here to die
