Here we are with burning skin   Where we've always been   And we all collide   In the rising tide   Then weather in the wind      We live our lives   Like hands are tied   And dead in days of dreaming   Embrace the race   Of every days   But forsake the feeling      Are we killing time   While these days unwind?      We can't see past our own sad stories   And wonder what we're missing   We can't see past our own sad stories   And forget how to listen      But did there ever come a time   When things weren't so defined?   We've given new names   To our hopes and our pain   But love just gets harder to find      We wrestle with what we think we should say   And hang ourselves out in the air   But most of the time   I think you'll find   That we're just pretending to care      And it's a crying shame   How we get so trained      We can't see past our own sad stories   And wonder what we're missing   We can't see past our own sad stories   And forget how to listen      We can't see past our own sad stories   And wonder what we're doing   We can't see past our own sad stories   And forget who it is we're fooling      Well, here we are with burning skin   Where we've always been
