TAKE THE EARTH BENEATH US LYRICS

1. So Quickly We Forget

So quickly we forget
Like none of it even mattered
isn't this what you've always wanted

[Pre Chorus:]
Ive been trying for 13 fucking years
there is something, always something
show me the end
when will it end
When did i lose it all

[Chorus:]
I got to figure it out
i got to trace my steps
it seems like Ive gone and lost my roots
and now I've got nothing left to hold on to

do you remember when i saved your life [2x]
i know there's and end
cause Ive seen it
wake me up
tell me this is just a dream [2x]

[Pre chorus]
[Chorus]

When will when will it stop [x2]

It pulled you under and i helped to pull you out
all you had to hold on to was your breath and my hand

2. Reckless

[Verse 1:]
I've seen the best and the worst
and i have learned from it
i cant help but feel like we've lost control
and there's no turning back
where do we go from here

Someone got a flashlight? its fucking dark in here
i cant help but feel like
we all fall under pressure
look at the things we've lost

[Verse 1]

[Chorus:]
I keep trying to explain to you, you don't get it, you'll never get it
I keep trying to explain to you, stop counting on eventually

Ive got a better idea in mind
i say why leave the past behind

[Chorus]

To build it takes a lifetime
but only seconds to destroy
look at the things we've lost
have we forgotten our purpose
to build it takes a lifetime
but only seconds to destroy

3. Half Hearted

The type of pressure that could swallow you whole
the nights grow lonely when you sleep alone
a double shot of tequila and the fear of growing old
how about you start making sense
stop talking in past tense

Don't get buried in your past [2x]

[Chorus:]
It's not what you expected i know, i know
and yes we took most things forgranted
i thought that you'd understand
That holding grudges wasn't part of the plan

Don't get buried in your past
that type of shit will only bring you down
you've got to stay alive, stay alive, you've got to stay alive
you've got the answer to the question you've been wondering for years
but you just don't want to hear it
that type of news could set you back for years

go ahead and hold your grudges
lets see just how far you'll go [2x]

How far you'll go [4x]

You better learn to stand your ground
cause your not going anywhere

[Chorus]

What I'd give to rebuild bridges burned
to take back the whole thing lesson learned
just forget the last 6 months
just give it up
forget the last 6 months
just give it up

you've forgotten how to swim
the surface is near but your past is holding you down
you've forgotten how to swim
bloodshot eyes and pale skin
never before have you been so beautiful

4. Distance

[Verse 1:]
This is our chance
This is our only chance
I'm sick of asking
when will i
when will i figure it out
when should i start
start moving ahead
moving ahead to do the things i want

[Chorus:]
It's a question that's grown famous
I'm here I'm here but i want to be there
so what is stopping us [x2].

There is more to this I'm sure of it
I'm sure of it
so whats stopping us
always a wall in front of us [x2]
i thought i made myself clear

[Verse 1]

[Chorus]

it's a question that has grown famous, famous
I thought i made myself clear
So whats stopping us [2x]
