Lifted

Now, here it comes if you like it or not
It's about an arm's length reach
Who would have ever thought

Just let me know if you're ready to stop
You'd be the perfect catch
For a small town cop but he's coming up

Got a place in the sky
To keep us grounded
Not a cloud that's in sight
We don't talk about it

Tell me, why would you walk away?
When you know we've got everything you need
Now, you're throwing it all away

God, I hate to be such a major disappointment
How did we survive?
When you build a wall around yourself
You get used to the insides

If you ask me to describe
I couldn't find the words to say
I could hide out for a while
But I know I could never stay

Got a place in the sky
To keep us grounded
Not a cloud that's in sight
We don't talk about it

Tell me why did you walk away?
When you know we've got everything that you need
Now, you're throwing it all away

Now, I start to think
Well, don't knock till you've tried it
But I swear it isn't like that
Yeah, I swear it isn't like that

Tell me, what you thought now
Because your first time could be your last time
And I can't say you won't regret it
But I can't say you will

Tell me why did you walk away?
Tell me why did you walk away?
When you know we've got everything you need
Now, you're throwing it all away
