We Kept It Alive - Lights Go Down

I lost myself in time

But I’m leaving the past behind

My life was scripted and over rated

But fate is a flawed design

I’m here, stuck in the basement

I feel like I’m 2 feet tall

It’s clear when you’re down on the pavement

We had it right all along

I sat on top of the world

And watched the stars align

I saw my name disappear

Fall by the wayside

On and on and on I said it

Never once have I regretted

This heart of mine can’t deny

We kept it alive

Imagine time stood still

Every moment would pass us by

Our silhouettes fade away with the summer

And we wouldn’t question why

I’m here, stuck in the basement

I feel like I’m 2 feet tall

I swear If we’re not making progress

Then who’s gonna call this off

I sat on top of the world

And watched the stars align

I saw my name disappear

Fall by the wayside

On and on and on I said it

Never once have I regret it

This heart of mine can’t deny

We kept it alive

Fiction’s over rated I need something that’s real

I wanna do what’s right, don’t wanna waste another year

Then what’s the point of dreaming? I’ll never stop believing

That everything you said to me can’t take away this feeling

Those parking lot nights we made up our minds to take a shot in the dark and

have the time of our lives

Left our town to memorize all the globes & maps that became our lifeline

I’m staring at the ceiling, the truth always revealing

It’s my time, I go in blind let’s see where I end up

It’s me against the dealer, I’m all in on the high card

Turn the river over, there’s no turning back now
