The ghost of last summer took a dive overboard So the haunts will stay empty from the bars to the shore You go riches to rags, you're tattered & torn It don't matter if you choose to believe it Every fire loses color and changes to ember And we all try to bring back the spirit of September As you're reading the rules, you'd do well to remember It don't matter if you choose to receive it So shutter all the windows, there's a storm comin' in You've tethered your fears, like being born again Some are orphans, some are widows, some are shadows of men When you're stranded in a field of dust, don't know where it all ends You're looking for answers where they don't belong You're just searching for someone with a title to your song Disappearing in the distance, it won't be long It don't matter how you choose to perceive it So shutter all the windows, there's a storm comin' in You've tethered your fears, like being born again Some are orphans, some are widows, some are shadows of men When you're stranded in a field of dust, don't know where it all ends The ghost of last summer wants back in the game But a distant faded memory is all that remains It's the saddest of days when they misplace your name It don't matter if you choose to believe it

The rain hasn't fallen for 7 days And I don't know how we ended up this way And I waited for someone to take my place By the end of he night, we've been erased After all the promises After all the tears After all the broken wishes We ended up here We wake up screaming and we don't know why We fall down dreaming, kicking the stars from the early morning sky You take it all in, you've got nothing left to prove Before you begin, you confess your sins from the corner of your room The doubts you have won't change your mind And you'll see it through, all in good time It might be a while before you find But it's not your style, do I need to remind you Before you finally walk away Before you break down Before you've had your chance to say I plan to be around We wake up screaming and we don't know why We fall down dreaming, kicking the stars from the early morning sky You take it all in, you've got nothing left to prove Before you begin, you confess your sins from the corner of your room some sort of rippin' solo We wake up screaming and we don't know why We fall down dreaming, kicking the stars from the early morning sky You take it all in, you've got nothing left to prove Before you begin, you confess your sins from the corner of your room We wake up screaming and we don't know why We fall down dreaming, kicking the stars from the early morning sky

When the day is at its end Where will you go, my friend, and do you think you'll like it When the green has turned to gold And all the stories that you told come out of hiding Watching, waiting When they all say, "hit the brakes" Do you have what it takes to keep them moving As the moon fades to the sun Will they ask if you're the one, and where have you been Watching, waiting Before this song is over Are you tempted to take cover, or are you satisfied Like the river runs upstream And the sleep destroys the dream, it keeps you paralyzed Watching, waiting And if this really is the start Of something bigger, near your heart I think you'd better take note Of what is good and what is good and what is true And what is right in front of you And never lose hope Watching, waiting

Verse 1: It's all that easy, it's all that hard Was the last thing she said as she climbed on board The flight to take her halfway around the world Verse 2: She'd take it all back, the truth be told But what she did she'll never know That's how we find ourselves lost on an unmarked road Chorus: I am because we are I am because we are Verse 3: When the time is right she will make her move All the thrills in the night won't be enough She'll find before too long she ain't bulletproof Chorus: I am because we are I am because we are I am Bridge: She fell in love with forward motion And she learned to live with change She never stops her hoping that life gets better every day She learned to guard her blindside But life remained the same But she's pretty sure that she will find her way Verse 4: It's all that easy, it's all that hard Was the last I heard as the sky went dark Chorus: I am because we are I am because we are I am
