Can I Live?

sometimes you don't know where you are
until you're there and it's too late
it's too late to find a better way
the time's escape so let's not lie

the stars are brighter on the other side tonight
the clock has died
surely this could not be over

the truth gets old
the walls so hard again these days
as if they knew everything
it's not the case

you know the feeling
when you're burning
'cause you're trying to win
you're hoping for something more
when you look down
you'll find there's just no way to turn

so let's get down
'cause it's time we learned how to fly
there's no pretending happy endings
when we're trapped inside our lives

sometimes you don't know where you are
until you're there and it's too late
it's too late to find the better way
a better way to live

so in the end
we'll look back on distance times
when we began to understand that
life is only what we make of it
you've got to try
and then maybe you'll see why
we try so hard to die

maybe you'll see why
why we try so hard to die

sometimes you don't know where you are
until you're there and it's too late
it's too late to find the better way
a better to live, to bring too deep
