[Verse 1]

I've got my life laid out in front of me like roads, drawn on the map

I've had so many times where I slipped off the beaten path

I took the time to see the picture and for what it's worth

I'd walk a thousand miles without my shoes to make it work

I swore to God that I'm never coming back, kept my faith when I was clapped

Staring at the wall through a crack in the floor and these metal doors that got me trapped

I gotta remind myself that my mind is strong, so I won't lose my head

I've got my demons that I fight with every little thought and every breath

[Pre-Chorus]

I wear my heart upon my sleeve so my soul's exposed

And I carry this disease, the weight of the Holy Ghost

God, can you hear me?

God is missing

[Chorus]

Take it back, take it back, my friend

All the things that you said about the end

This is it, this is me telling you it ain't over till it's over

Give it up, give it up, my friend

The score is settled even if you won't admit

Sun is up, final hour, without a doubt, it's over when it's over

[Verse 2]

You've got your life laid out in front of you like a car crash

Unconscious at the wheel 'cause you were driving too fast

But if you took the time to check up in your rearview mirror

You'd see the things you're driving from are your biggest fears

You gotta get back up from the wreckage above and walk right through the fire

No matter what happens, the fact is that the flames keep getting higher

You gotta keep it going, keep tiptoeing through the fire and the flames and the pain of knowing

The world is dark, gotta keep on glowing, gotta give that spark, gotta keep on glowing

[Pre-Chorus]

I wear my heart upon my sleeve so my soul's exposed

And I carry this disease, the weight of the Holy Ghost

God, can you hear me?

God is missing

[Chorus]

Take it back, take it back, my friend

All the things that you said about the end

This is it, this is me telling you it ain't over till it's over

Give it up, give it up, my friend

The score is settled even if you won't admit

Sun is up, final hour, without a doubt, it's over when it's over

[Bridge]

So please, please, just let me make my peace

I refuse to let your words be the death of me

Please, please, just let me live my life

Stop living in my shadow and just make it right

It's over, it's over, make it right

[Chorus]

Take it back, take it back, my friend

All the things that you said about the end

This is it, this is me telling you it ain't over till it's over

Give it up, give it up, my friend

The score is settled even if you won't admit

Sun is up, final hour, without a doubt, it's over when it's over, it's over

[Outro]

It's over, it's over

This is it, this is me telling you it ain't over till it's over
