[Verse 1]

The cast was made to reset broken bones

But there's no such thing to fix a love gone wrong

Keep knocking the door 'cause I know someone's there

I wait on the porch hoping someday I'll be let in

They say in the end everything will be okay

If it's not okay, well then, it ain't the end


[Chorus]

Had dreams to you I would belong

Had the dream you would stay with me 'til a-kingdom come

Turns out forever has come and gone

Am I the only one hanging on?


[Verse 2]

Hand in hand, yeah, we took it on

You answered my prayers, now from my knees, I can't get up

Lost patience with time, yeah, hurry up your patience tonight

I'd like some of yours, in trade can take all of mine


[Chorus]

I dreamt to you I would belong

Had the dream you would stay with me 'til your kingdom come

Turns out it was more like hit-and-run

Am I the only one hanging on?

Oh, am I the only one hanging on? (Yeah)


[Bridge]

If you could see, oh, what I see now

You'd find a way to stay somehow

Oh, if you could see, yeah, what I see now

You'd make your way to stay somehow


[Outro]

May your days be long 'til kingdom come

May our days be long before kingdom come

May our days be long until kingdom come

We can become one last setting sun

Am I the only one hanging on?

We could become one last setting sun

Or be the sun at the break of dawn

Let us not fade

Let us not fade
