lyrics
[Intro]
Guess I can assume it's over now
Shattered and confused, you left me broken
I Guess I can assume it's over now
But you forgot the door and you left it open, oh
[QJ: First Verse]
You look around and what do you see?
A rainy morning in the QC
But through the unruly, you see the beauty and its truly
Magnificent, like you made a difference
Don't be a hypocrite, you know the reason for it
You finally let go of all the hate you held over that heartbreak
For your heart's sake, you moved on, but now you partake
In crushing other spirits based on appearance
Heart is shielded, no one can get near it
No interference
[T-Squared: First Verse]
Now we're moving on to the next round
Where everyone is a target for all that rage
Now you move along with your head down
The paranoia, it eats at you day by day
Why can't you let it go?
The fall air's coming and the winds of change are gonna blow 'round you
The tears will be flowing down your face, you can't erase it, Oh-Oh Yeah
[Chorus]
And now you dissipate from the smoke
But will you stay awake? We'll never know
Just gotta dust off that black snow
And keep on walkin', Oh
You wonder why the sky is so grey
You ask for me to take the pain away
But I won't save the world with what stays
Inside your pockets, Oh
[QJ: Second Verse]
If you knew the world would end in the next few seconds
I'm pretty sure you'd keep up this charade, there's no question
Till the day you pass away, false legacy to carry
'Cause saying you don't care doesn't make me believe you're carefree
Choices are based on, "What does it have to do with me?"
When closing off your mind is closing your opportunities
Empathy's not a sign of weakenss
Want to be remembered for who you are or remembered for all your secrets?
[T-Squared: Second Verse]
On to the next ride
Where you're trying to convince people that you're cool
Thinking that you've gone with the best side
But overwhelmed by the stops that you have to pull
Don't know about you
But I'll be damned if I'll let someone take from me all that I am
'Cause I will be the best "me" that I can be
Take it or leave it, Oh-Oh Yeah
[Chorus]
And now you dissipate from the smoke
But will you stay awake? We'll never know
Just gotta dust off that black snow
And keep on walkin', Oh
You wonder why the sky is so grey
You ask for me to take the pain away
But I won't save the world with what stays
Inside your pockets, Oh
[Bridge]
There and Back Again
We're There and Back Again, Oh (X4)
[Chorus]
And now you dissipate from the smoke
But will you stay awake? We'll never know
Just gotta dust off that black snow
And keep on walkin', Oh
You wonder why the sky is so grey
You ask for me to take the pain away
But I won't save the world with what stays
Inside your pockets, Oh (X2) (Second time, interpolated with the bridge)
[Outro]
There And Back Again
