Slipped Lines

(yeah) (if I could

rewind it all)

(just take

it back)

Staring at the ceiling while the morning creeps in Counting up the

cracks where the daylight leaks in I picked the crooked path thinking

it was just a shortcut Turned into a canyon and my pride

got cut

Signed my name in chalk where the rain washed heavy Should've stood

still

when the ground wasn't steady Every single fork in the road had

a sign I just closed both eyes and I crossed the line

Now I'm paying full price for a bargain deal

Spinning round the wheel that I can't conceal

Could've made it easy,

chose the uphill fight (wish I knew)

If I took the other road when the road went cold Maybe

I wouldn't carry all this heavy weight alone Traded my tomorrow just

to make it through today

(make it through today) Now I'm cleaning up the wreckage of the

steps I gave away

Every hard day built from the choices that I made

(wish I chose different)

Funny how a split second writes out a decade Digging in the

dirt with a broken down spade

Old friends settled down,

quiet in the shade

While I'm fighting ghosts from the bets that I made Told myself

back then that I couldn't be wrong

Now every single lesson is a heavy,

slow song Held the match too close just to feel some heat

Burnt down the bridge right under my feet

Looking in the mirror at a stranger's eyes

Running out of patience for my own excuses and lies I could've

walked away before the ground gave out (yeah)

If I took the other road when the road went cold Maybe

I wouldn't carry all this heavy weight alone Traded my tomorrow just

to make it through today

(make it through today)

Now I'm cleaning up the wreckage of the steps I gave away

Every hard day built from the choices that I made

(all on me)

Nobody to blame when you draw the map

Stepped right in and I sprung the trap

Just

two choices standing in the dark A steady walk or a reckless

spark

If I took the other road when the road went cold (went

cold!) Maybe I wouldn't carry all this heavy weight alone (all alone!)

Traded my tomorrow just to make it through today Now I'm cleaning

up the wreckage of the steps I gave away

Every hard day built from the choices that I made (wish I

changed it all)

Yeah,

steps I gave away...

Can't rewrite it now.

Just gotta carry it.
