lyrics

Thrown Away

Streetlight metronomes are counting beats to the song this city sings

where there's light the music soars but in the dark it's more discreet

and all the people they are walking to a rhythm that they can't see

and the score is just so perfectly in order; then there's me



If life is a song, then I don't know the words

I try to sing along, but I just make it worse.



So much time

wasted in the worst of ways

I don't know if I'll ever find

my reason to stay



you know I’m just trying to figure out these long and sober days

and I can’t help but think that these past 4 years are just gone

they’re just thrown away

I can’t remember if it was before or after the trust

In spite of everything they’re just thrown away

Just thrown away



time ticking, going by, flying so fast

I never used to see myself and feel so fucking sad

I'm not ready can we please set the clock back?

a minute a day a week a month a year



time keeps going, it stops for no one

and times been telling me it's time to grow up

but I'm not going I'm not ready for fall

I'll make this summer last forever cuz it's never enough

So much time

wasted in the worst of ways

Now I’ll never get back my life (get back my fucking life)

And all the days, just thrown away



A song of speechless beauty

worthy of our stars

of endless possibility

sung by a million bleeding hearts



that's the kind of song in which I wish I played a part

But I wish I'd known 10 years ago it'd be this fucking hard
