lyrics

TIL THE DAY THAT YOU DIE

I heard what you said when the day came around
But I could not forget the words you’d written down
I hope you’ll forgive me I’m sorry to wait
Pray the words that I say still aren’t too late
But you just stood there with your hands to your eyes
Talking in rhythms to the tune of demise

With your heart in your hands and your fists to the sky -That’s just how you’ll be til the day that you die

Well you knew for some time this would come to an end
But if the boat’s going down you might as well swim
With your past all behind you the West to your back
It can’t hold a flame to the hope that you lack
I told you the truth it was worse than a lie
‘Cause now your heart really knows what your face tries to hide

With your heart in your hands and your fists to the sky- That’s just how you’ll be til’ the day that you die

You’ve gotta make a living so the living is for good
That’s just what they tell me it’s just what you should
But it’s a hard time for living when your heart is on trial
For the things that you’ve done you’ll be done in a while
And who knows what mysteries your heart often hides
‘Cause mysteries aren’t secrets when the truth is a lie

With your heart in your hands and your fists to the sky- That’s just how you’ll be til’ the day that you die

I checked the time it was 2:55 I was pacing the floor where I live
You made the drive said you could not survive this way feels like its come to an end
And on her machine I voiced a plea to believe that we tried oh how we tried.
You said you’d leave ‘Cause it’s easier to bleed when the deck has been stacked oh so high

And maybe someday we’ll put an end to our pride
Talking in rhythms to the tune of demise
And then you will see why I call you a friend
And you can wear it on your sleeve ‘till the bitter end.

With your heart in your hands and your fists to the sky- That’s just how you’ll be til’ the day that you die
