    And I won’t wait another day, won’t wait another day
    I won’t wait ’til you come my way, won’t until you come my way
    ‘Cause I know I’m chasin’ down my grave, know I’m chasin’ down my grave
    I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me

    I wanna live, wanna to live the good life, leave, love
    Queen Earth, be my ground
    And every road my long legs walk down, I get found
    The dead Earth, be my soft bed, give me safety, give me a crown
    I listen to the creatures ’til I hear that sound

    How can I sleep in the wake of your night moves?
    Now that I’m up, can I tell you that you make me, ohh?

    I won’t wait another day, won’t wait another day
    I won’t wait ’til you come my way, won’t until you come my way
    ‘Cause I know I’m chasin’ down my grave, know I’m chasin’ down my grave
    And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me
    I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me

    Sing my song about the ways I keep on doin’ you wrong
    And keep my heart close to the fire, so I don’t thaw
    I count the spots along your arms, so I remember this
    I feel the weight of time and hold back the minute

    How can I sleep in the wake of your night moves?
    Now that I’m up, can I tell you that you make me, ohh?

    And all of the ways you are make it unfair
    But now that we’re playin’ for truth, I’ma pick dare
    And all of the ways you are make it unfair
    And all of the words that I have will be yours to bear

    And I won’t wait another day, won’t wait another day
    I won’t wait ’til you come my way, won’t until you come my way
    ‘Cause I know I’m chasin’ down my grave, know I’m chasin’ down my grave
    And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me
    And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me
    And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me

    I dream of you
    Moment I can feel you there
    I can hold you
    But sometimes there’s a shift in the motion
    I can’t keep you near, just stand in motion

    Can I count on you?
    Can I count on you?
    You’re my only virtue

    Inner demons
    That I can’t seem to push aside
    I can’t stop it
    And that’s why I need you here
    I am no good but you steer me clear of my bad oceans

    Can I count on you
    To be there with me now?
    I can’t bear the thought
    Of losing you somehow
    Please hold down the phone
    Since I am not around
    Can I count on you
    To be there with me?
    You’re my only virtu
    e

    Now I may not deserve you
    But I can not do without you
    Didn’t know what I had lost
    You are my elevation
    You’re the closest thing to heaven
    If you hadn’t caught me
    Then where am I meant to fall?
    Moments I can feel you
    Hold you in my arms
    Feels as forgetting from

    Can I count on you
    To be there with me now?
    I can’t bear the thought
    Of losing you somehow

    Please hold down the phone
    Since I am not around
    Can I count on you
    To be there with me?
    You’re my only virtue

    Can I count on you?
    Can I, can I, can I count on you?
    You’re my only virtue
    Count on you, count on you

    I know you’re walking through hell
    But it’s just me here, no one else
    You can crumble, I don’t mind
    The broken bones we carry, are hard to hide

    There’s cracks on the walls that are holding your heart
    I want you to know you can pull them apart

    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
    We’re the pieces that make a whole, beautiful, beautiful
    So rip your heart wide open
    Let mе see your scars
    Every battle wound makes you who you arе
    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

    I don’t care I’m torn and worn out from keeping it all inside
    Avoiding the hurt and pain, letting their words skin me alive
    But I won’t bleed with shame
    Cause every time that I break
    There’s more light flowing into my veins

    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
    We’re the pieces that make a whole, beautiful, beautiful
    So rip your heart wide open
    Let me see your scars
    Every battle wound makes you who you are
    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

    There’s cracks on the walls that are holding your heart
    I want you to know you can pull them apart

    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
    We’re the pieces that make a whole, beautiful, beautiful
    So rip your heart wide open
    Let me see your scars
    Every battle wound makes you who you are
    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

    Falling, falling to the ground
    Falling into sound
    Always numb
    Always in another world I found

    Do you see what I see?
    Or am I incomplete?
    Falling stars
    Healing all the scars inside your heart

    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all

    Falling, falling to the ground
    Falling into sound
    Always numb
    Always in another world I found

    Do you see what I see?
    Or are we incomplete?
    Falling stars
    Healing all the scars inside your heart

    From the moment you dream,
    It’s not always as it seems.
    If you still believe,
    It’s all you need.
    When you give you feel more alive.
    When you love you step into the light.
    Standing on the edge you are part of me
    And you leave the past behind.

    Let it all rewind,
    Let it out.
    Let it all rewind,
    Moving on.
    Let it hurt, hurt.
    Let it all rewind,
    Moving on.

    In the end
    Time is like a night.

    In the mind
    Time is like a knife.
    Sending them off the drop
    Like an echo.
    Orbiting like a satellite.

    Let it all rewind,
    Let it out.
    Let it all rewind,
    Moving on.
    Let it hurt, hurt.
    Let it all rewind,
    Moving on.
