I tried to take the high road
But I hit a really low note
Sitting in an empty room
Wishing I could hold you
We live on a freeway
Each need a little leeway
The times when it feels so cold
Are better on the replay
This time, I can see
There’s no need
To dwell in the same scene
I’m too broken to fight
So tonight
I just wanna make things right
The calendar is turning
My neighborhood is burning
A cinema is painted red
My stomach’s still churning
Is there beauty in the heartbreak?
A home for the homesick?
A love that no one can take
That cuts through the static?
This time, I can see
There’s no need
To dwell in the same scene
I’m too broken to fight
So tonight
I just wanna make things right
I’m waiting for the sunlight
I’m waiting for our lives to be everything right
I miss you when I reminisce
I wonder what you’re feeling through all of this
I’m waiting for the homeland
I’m waiting for something I can understand
We find so many vices
To ease this existential crisis
This time, I can see
There’s no need
To dwell in the same scene
I’m still broken tonight
And alone
Will we ever make things right?
