He stands next to me as the sweat pours, as the note rings, have we said our final word tonight?
And as he turns to leave there's a moment where our eyes meet long enough for us to see he's scared.
I'll be the light that will guide and inspire you to forget the sirens so they don't blind us or take our breath away.
And there is a line between us and the rest of them, we're certain to fly up in the cirrus skies that keep our dreams alive.
Take me to a place where I knew best, where the words roll off my tongue and simple lines I should have sung,
will take me to a place where I knew best, where the words roll off my tongue and simple lines I should have sung don't haunt me.
Our lives tread the lines hey provide us yet we try so hard to lose ourselves along the way.
There comes a time in life where your heart beats slow and empty with regret of every missing day.
So please don't let this go.
No please don't let this go.
So tell me the truth for a change and I won't say a thing, there's something scarce about the city air that guides our feelings home.
As shadows split the skyline, we write words to bind us, lines that helps us know where we're to fall.
Take me to a place where I knew best, where the words roll off my tongue and simple lines I should have sung,
will take me to a place where I knew best, where the words roll off my tongue and simple lines I should have sung don't haunt me.
There is a time and a place to be grateful,
(Bury the burdens and re-discover the words)
So please don't let go,
So please don't let go,
No please don't let go,
So please just let go...
Take me to a place where I knew best, where the words roll off my tongue and simple lines I should have sung,
will take me to a place where I knew best, where the words roll off my tongue and simple lines I should have sung...
