"A War With Time (Sad Gay Version)" lyrics

"A War With Time (Sad Gay Version)"

I don't remember the timeline
Just December and the eastern skyline
It was just my time to go
It wasn't even a cold night
Disappointed in the northern lights
I always thought there'd be snow

Four hundred people on a broken wheel
When the plane touched down in a concrete minefield
I guess we all made it out okay
Following the streets to a sliver of blue
You can lose the sky and it can lose you too
But you get a little lost to find your way

I'm living in a war with time
I can still reach out and touch you
And I wish I didn't know the things I know
I'm standing in an open door
None of it was overrated
And I'm never gonna want to let you go
But I want you to go
Don't even ask me, just go

I don't remember the faces
Just the anger and the haunted places
So alive, I could taste it on the rain
And even the roaches come from somewhere else
Leaving a stain where the angels fell
In the city where no one knows your name

I'm living in a war with time
I can still reach out and touch you
And I wish I didn't know the things I know
I'm standing in an open door
None of it was overrated
And I'm never gonna want to let you go
But I want you to go
Don't even ask me, just go
Don't even ask me, just go

Hold their eyes, make sure they know
Stand your ground, but see the soul
Beneath the pain and broken home
With every drop of rain and bone
Square your shoulders, turn to stone
Slowly shake your head for no
And when you find yourself alone
Retrace your steps and come back home

I'm living in war with time
I can still reach out and touch you
And I wish I didn't know the things I know
I'm standing in an open door
None of it was overrated
And I'm never gonna want to let you go
But I want you to go
Just go
I know you want to go

I want you to go
Go
I want you to go
Don't even ask me, just go
