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 ***
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 man 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 ***ting up my nights
Like a goddamned knife
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
That I just wanted to get back to where you are
I tried going against my own soul's warning
But 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 ***ting up my nights
Like a goddamned knife
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
I just wanted to get back to where you are
