Hey, I guess I never really ever could say That I saw it coming But when you push a feeling far away Still your body's humming And I held it in Long as I could then But now all that's changing So, I guess you never truly ever can know Where on earth you're heading You just barrel on down that road 'Til that road starts bending Here we are again Not a bitter end But the end of something Hey, I'm gonna whisper these words right into your sleeve Gonna open up a portal from you back to me Gonna take it all the way from the back of our bay To the top of the empire of our state Well, I guess I know a thing or two about hell It's when you lose your fire You go back to the same old well Without the same desire I've been treading earth From the time of birth You can't stop this turning Hey, I'm gonna whisper these words right into your sleeve Gonna open up a portal from you back to me Gonna take it all the way from the back of our bay To the top of the empire of our state So gee, I guess anyone could've been me Staring at my reflection Wanting just a little bit of relief From my self-deception There's no more I can run This is how it's done You just start all over Hey, I'm gonna whisper these words right into your sleeve Gonna open up a portal from you back to me Gonna take it all the way from the back of our bay To the top of the empire of our state
