A bitter storm ends, which you had your sights on
Back in junior high, to lock yourself in
Just keep it held up, till your arms just shake
And the hopes are falling down your face
Before they were ironclad, and they were held up high
Now they just keep you from sleep at night
Undeserving, I
Shot for the nearest exit sign
July, we gave up, and its death to think
All we could've gained if we'd just held out
The fields that we ran, and I'm at the end
Of every edge I could've swore I had
It's not that hard, it was impossible
July, we gave up, and its death to think
All we could've been if we'd just held out
Some swore, I walked away
It's light, how the sun never met that line
And shapes who we are today
I looked to the path we were taking, long
Decided it wasn't at all
I blinked at the rows, and they soldiered on
I thought "they're on their own"
Just carve out your heart to move forward, or don't
Dreams die every day
Like wading through hell
Purposefully, you're caught
In high water still
This moment is yours for the taking, long
After the follow through
You already proved you were valid
Can't bring yourself to anymore
And that's ok
Are we better off
Than we were back then?
Do you regret what you've done?
Are you over it?
Are we better off
Than we were back then?
Did you not have the strength to slay the summer wind?
Are we better off
Then we were back then?
Do you regret
Giving in to the undercurrent?
