lyrics

did you get stuck on a logic
you could not move past
was it something as tragic
as a flower fading fast
I never told you to listen
to a fair-weather heart
on a road to perdition
tearing his soul his apart

I'm not going to heaven
if not everybody will
or what greater love than this:
to lay down your life for a friend
for you there's no harm in dwindling
down a winning road
paved with good intentions
as so many of them are

scaring the shit out of children
and acting a fool
perpetuating nonsense
just to name a few
are we an unopened flower
warming in the sun
but stuck on a logic
we could not move past

but whatever I've written
will fade in the sun
blow off with the wind and
will soon be gone
and I never told you to listen
to a fair-weather heart
on a road to perdition
tearing his soul apart

don't want to go to heaven
if not everybody is
or what greater love than this:
lay down your life for your friends
you go on and dwindle
down your winning road
paved with good intentions
as so many of them are
