Pushing towards paradise On blacktop and tar Wondered if my soul Matched my scars Went off the rails I went off the tracks If you weren't there Could you come back? My blood was red But I worried it black Plans to ashes Promises to dust One of these days, we will learn to trust There's no point In making this so tough Can't you see now? We were always enough See our precious symbols We held to our sides Burning holes in our pockets And our fire-proof pride Walking in love I'm flying in chains Covered in the mud Praying for rain Done with speaking lines It's oh so strange What it takes to be happy Plans to ashes Promises to dust One of these days, we will learn to trust There's no point In making this so tough Can't you see now? We were always enough I don't know how long we've been down here But everybody's singing When are you going to come back up for air? 'Cause everybody's waiting
