Why is this how it has to be?
Why's it always me thinking we could live more simply?
How'd we get to where we are to day?
Why do you always say we should have done things somehow differently?
Leave it alone
Let it all evolve
Not everything's a problem just waiting to be solved
Speaking now of waiting
Speaking of our love
Here's a chance for both of us
To finally rise above
Ourselves
We're still surprised that nothing's as it seems
Interrupted dreams lay on the shores of distant memory
Well I am here for you, so you hear me
I still think we can be so much more than part-time enemies
Ease it on back
Let it all unwind
Take our tattered history and throw it from your mind
Speaking of discarding
Let's forget the tears
Here's a chance for both of us
To rise above our fears
And ourselves
Rise above ourselves (4x)
Why is this how it has to be?
Why do we never see the easy way out of anything
I'm speaking now of leaving
And that I never will
Cause you can throw the world and me
And I still won't have my fill
Here's a chance at reckoning
For us and no one else
And I know we can find a way
To rise above ourselves
By ourselves
