These nights
Don't look as good in the morning
Like a storm without a warning
Come raining down on me
These days
Don't come and go like they used to
Make me question what we're going through
Hope hanging by a string
And it's alright, she says
Close your eye and find the memory
Of when we couldn't stand for nothing
Too young to really know
These ways
Have got me asking for forgiveness
For a love that I can live with
Instead of rambling with my vices
As it all comes down to me and you
Putting all lies down for the truth
These lies
Like a man hiding in the shadows
Trying to pick and choose my battles
With a bruised and broken heart
These times
Call for love and new believers
A different kind of American dreamer
Tired of being told who we are
It's alright, she says
To find comfort in the memory
Of the way that it all used to be
While still looking around the bend
These ways
They have damaged where we're going
Those who still refuse to notice
That the times, they are a-changin'
As it all boils down to me and you
Putting all lies down for the truth
As it all boils down to me and you
Putting all lies down for the truth
This road
Leaves me anxious, leaves me wondering
Like the ones that came before me
Never sure of where it's going
This rose
Like a symbol of our history
All the blood and all the beauty
Every breath and every heartbeat
I let it all boil down to the truth
Putting all the lies down for the truth
As it all comes down to me and you
Putting all lies down for me and you
