lyrics

Step back, and take a look at what you’ve done.
Exposed yourself to everyone.
I see the beauty in smoke and mirrors,
Reflecting the false hopes from all these years

We can’t measure the clouds, but
We take what we see and turn it into
Everything we want it to be.
We can bottle the rain,
We can mask the pain,
Hear me out, we can be free.

Take it all in stride, you’re running on thin ice
Every step you take brings you closer
Take it all in stride, you’re at the end of your line
And this is what we have been waiting for

Let me take you to the place where
You don’t need to be afraid.
We’re all the same, dear.
We’re all the same.

So dig deeper, find it and rip it out.
Cast all your demons back to hell
We’ve already came so far
With a story to tell
I won’t give up hope, no I won’t back down
Until I find some stable ground
To build my life upon
Every word you said, every thought in my head,
Every person I’ve ever met.
Is reflected in these eyes
I’ll fight for everything I love
Someday I’ll get to be where
I belong.
We can’t measure the clouds.
We can’t measure the clouds.
But we can turn them inside out.
