I tried going against my own soul's warning

But in the end, something just didn't feel right

Oh, I tried diving even though the sky was storming

I just wanted to get back to where you are.

If you could see through the banner of the sun

Into eternity's eyes, like a vision reaching down to you

Would you turn away?

What if it knew you by your name?

What kind of words would cut through the clutter of the whirlwind of these days?

I tried going against my own soul's warning

And in the end, something just didn't feel right

Oh, I tried diving, even though the sky was storming

Thunderheads were forming.

But then I thought I could fly

And when I hit the ground

It made a messed up sound

And it kept on rattling through my days

And cutting up my nights

Like a goddamn knife

And it got me thinking, no matter how far

I just wanted to get back to where you are.

I tried going against my own soul's warning

And in the end, something just didn't feel right

Oh, I tried running from the memory and the mourning

But the penalty kept on pouring.

And now I think I know why

'cause when I hit the ground

It made a messed up sound

And it kept on rattling through my days

And cutting up my nights

Like a goddamn knife

And it got me thinking, no matter how far

I just wanted to get back to where you are.
