the stakes have been raised   i've been driving for days   life was chasing a whim   that's disguised as a dream   but soon   what i'll be thinking's   not what i've been thinking   the call came today   everything's about to change   got used to the feeling   life's not what you make it   and we were so safe   in our routines i faked   but they've just put the lights on   i see the horizon   they want it   i'm writhing   it's too late   can't walk out now      (prechorus)   we're climbing so higher   and higher and higher   the sound of my breath   it fades with the light   we're climbing so higher   and higher and higher   but i left my thoughts down there   with you last night         swore i would escape   from what others had made   the most comfortable days   i thought i'd always hate   but with every day   what i want seems to change   it just scares me to think   you'll get thrown in someday   our faces can't hide   what i'm feeling inside   wondering how anyone   can stand to live this way   but they've forced my attention   you can't help but hear them   they call us   divide us   it's too late   can't get out now      (prechorus)      (chorus)   we'll drink till   we're cold   then we'll make our way home   you can sleep on the road   it's my fault   and they know   +   but i'll fix things   get us back i swear   i'm trying i'm trying   while knowing   it might be too late   but i can't say it      (bridge)   let's try for something    that we've never had   i'll give this up   just let me lead      (chorus)   +   and they know something's wrong   and they follow me close   when i don't see an end   don't know how i'll pretend   that we'll make it   make it back i swear   and i'm trying i'm trying   while knowing   it might be too late
