lyrics

Rights, entitlements, and all we dreamed of
Taught us how to fight for what we feel
But though we swore the darkness couldn’t reach us
Here we are not knowing what is real

Oh how quickly our eyes folded inward
Our castles crumbled in the course of weeks
Even though the wound kept scabbing over
It only took more time to make it bleed

I want to cross the deep divide
Between the mess and better times
So shove me hard, but take my hand
We’ll make this right again

What if you and I were done denying
That maybe love is stronger than regret
Being burned out just means we are finding
These grown up things come down to baby steps,
Which is why I said

I don’t care how far
These are our hearts
And mending scars
Means who we are
Must break, so be brave

And we’ll go to cross the deep divide
Beyond this mess we’ll come alive
So shove me hard and take my hand
We’ll make this right again

So be brave
