[Verse 1]

They had faith more than anyone I know

And not even they could do it

I get scared that we'll end up like them

I get scared that we'll end up like them

They were stronger than we could ever know

And not even they could make it

Past the deep over every pavement

[Chorus]

I get scared that we'll end up like them

And now we're looking forward in silence

The truth is that I don't know if I can or believe in the everlasting

Sure, I want to, and I'll keep wishing

And crossing every part of my fingers

But who am I to think that I'm different

Or ever live in the everlasting?

[Verse 2]

I've seen pictures from decades ago

Where everything seemed so unbroken

All their hopes and their dreams were before them

God, I wonder what came and destroyed them

Maybe one day you'll ask me

Do I think about us when we're older

And if I choke on the words, don't be hurt 'cause

[Chorus]

I get scared that we'll end up like them

And now we're looking forward in silence

The truth is that I don't know if I can or believe in the everlasting

Sure, I want to, and I'll keep wishing

And crossing every part of my fingers

But who am I to think that I'm different

Or ever live in the everlasting?

[Interlude]

So, hold me close

Don't leave tonight, don't

[Bridge]

Ah-ah

Ah

Do you believe?

[Outro]

And I'll keep wishing

And crossing every part of my fingers

But who am I to think that I'm different

Or ever live in the everlasting?
