lyrics

Verse 1

And the sound in the distance
People gone in an instance
Well it seems things have changed, my dear
All my friends think me crazy. Truth be told I'm lazy
How I'm gonna miss them
I keep you your heart in my pocket
Mine in your silver locket
It don't matter what they say
And while they're smiles were all gleaming, I was too busy dreaming
Honey we've all got our demons in the end

Verse 2

After school trips all too shady
In Crowd cool kids eyes are hazy
Well I guess I was never cool enough for their crowd
Pack your bags and leave tomorrow
Turn away the heart of Sorrows
To live in the future makes for a lonely past
I find it hard to relate to you but I tried so hard to save you
Honey, it ain't that hard to find the keys to heaven

Verse 3

I haven't held your hand lately
My selfish hands are far too shaky
Well it was a bummer to see all my heroes rise and fall
I see their scoffs and pointed fingers. How their hatred it truly lingers
But there is not a fire they could light to match the passion that's in my heart
And is the air is getting colder and we're all getting older
I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't afraid
So I'll stay in denial and I'll stay here for a while
Praying to God up above you'll stay here with me
