Senses Fail - Stay What You Are lyrics

All the maps of the world have been drawn
There’s nothing to explore except your face
I keep getting older
But my heart stays the same age
I’d never want to live forever ‘cause
I’d have to watch everyone die
But death is what makes
This whole life meaningful
It’s what keeps me alive

I’m scared to death that I
Will never make it out
Alive and I’ll be stuck in this mess forever

The older that I get
The more I find that each moment
Is a gift in time
The first time we saw Saves The Day
You never made it home
You spent the night with me
When I was young, it was a mystery
It took me years
But now I finally see what it
Is that you meant to me
Stay What You Are will always be our eulogy
When it rains in LA, people lose their shit
Just like I lost my mind in 2006
But that anxious boy has been
Buried in a shallow ditch
One day when I’m rotting in my grave
I’ll look back on my life and I will say
"Why the hell did it take me so long
To back that bottle off of my lips?"

Am I wasting all my time trying hard to find
The line between holding on and letting go?

The older that I get
The more I find that each moment
Is a gift in time
The first time we saw Saves The Day
You never made it home
You spent the night with me
When I was young, it was a mystery
It took me years
But now I finally see what it
Is that you meant to me
Stay What You Are will always be our eulogy

I remember when you whispered in my ear
"Do not fear when I am gone
I’ll be right here"
When all the world is wasting away
I hold my heart and say your name

The older that I get
The more I find that each moment
Is a gift in time
The first time we saw Saves The Day
You never made it home
You spent the night with me
When I was young, it was a mystery
It took me years
But now I finally see what it
Is that you meant to me
Stay What You Are will always be our eulogy

Am I wasting all my time trying hard to find
The line between holding on and letting go?
