lyrics

Did I get too far from the feeling I love? You would think it’s a much duller world — you’d be wrong. Did I get a taste of the real giving up? Though it sounds like a bore, sitting out’s about all that it’s made out to me.

You’ve done all that you can — I commend it. But I’m not brave enough to follow you through this world. I’m told to hold on to the light like it’s ending. But I’m not bright enough to want to change.

Charter a course for that long slow fade. I have felt everything — I have had my say. And now I hold close to a story I tell about how, when I try, I still don’t become what I had set out to be.

You’ve done all that you can — I commend it. But I’m not brave enough to follow you through this world. And I won’t remember this just like it happened. And I’m not bright enough to want to change.

Charter a long slow fade.

You’ve done all that you can — I commend it. But I’m not brave enough to follow you through this world. I followed a thought until it pulled me under. And I’m not bright enough to want to change.
