Did you really believe
you'd be gone this time?
All the things I mean and
the words I can't find
Did you think you could leapfrog
everything that you know?
The very problems that you run
from really fade away slowly
Did you really believe
you'd be gone this time?
I misconstrued your attitude, yeah
You laid down the weapons you used
Hey, you got one night, you gotta sit tight
So let me lead you into
the light
Did the people you need,
did they leave you behind?
Was the pressure relieved when
you walked from your mind?
With all the promise of a flower,
but your seeds have run dry
I see you stumble from your tower,
did you build it too high?
Or did the people you need
leave you behind?
I misconstrued your attitude
You laid down the weapons you used
Yeah, you got one life, you gotta sit tight
So let me lead you into the light as you're fading
Oh, come on,
show me what you're made of
We've been walking around, yeah
Like you're just a mom -and
-pop cradle
Misconstrued, your attitude, yeah
You lay down the weapons you use
Hey, you got a war knife, you got a zip tie
I may get a little hairy sometime
Come on, take my hand, yeah
And let me lead you into the light
