[Verse 1]
They had faith more than anyone I know
And not even they could do it
I get scared that we'll end up like them
I get scared that we'll end up like them
They were stronger than we could ever know
And not even they could make it
Past the deep over every pavement
[Chorus]
I get scared that we'll end up like them
And now we're looking forward in silence
The truth is that I don't know if I can or believe in the everlasting
Sure, I want to, and I'll keep wishing
And crossing every part of my fingers
But who am I to think that I'm different
Or ever live in the everlasting?
[Verse 2]
I've seen pictures from decades ago
Where everything seemed so unbroken
All their hopes and their dreams were before them
God, I wonder what came and destroyed them
Maybe one day you'll ask me
Do I think about us when we're older
And if I choke on the words, don't be hurt 'cause
[Chorus]
I get scared that we'll end up like them
And now we're looking forward in silence
The truth is that I don't know if I can or believe in the everlasting
Sure, I want to, and I'll keep wishing
And crossing every part of my fingers
But who am I to think that I'm different
Or ever live in the everlasting?
[Interlude]
So, hold me close
Don't leave tonight, don't
[Bridge]
Ah-ah
Ah
Do you believe?
[Outro]
And I'll keep wishing
And crossing every part of my fingers
But who am I to think that I'm different
Or ever live in the everlasting?
