[Verse 1]
AI’m a walking compromise between what’s real and what feels alright.
I read the Dletters you wrote, kept that lump in my throat and ache in my Achest.
I was Dplaying by your rules another happy fool hoping for the Abest.
[Chorus 1]
AI don’t want to be a statue. I just want to get my Dway.
Don’t care to be Eremembered. A picture and a Adate.
Do it all for the Amoment. Do it all to fill the Dday.
I move in tiny Ecircles. I never lose my Aplace.
[Verse 2]
AI was a couple years too late. I think we could of been something, could of done something Dgreat.
And I know it’s not wise dealing in “what Aifs”.
[Bridge]
 DI watched a bird get hit and dance between the asphalt and the Agrass.
 DI wondered how something that grew so slow could change so Afast.
 DIf I’ve learned anything, it’s that nothing in the world could come of Athat,
 Ebut all I’ve learned I’ve Dsoon learned how to Aforget.
[Chorus 2]
ACause I’ve stood on top of castles. Yeah I’ve slept on top of Dgraves.
Nothing lasts Eforever. The worms will have their Away.
AAnd I move in tiny circles. Yeah I never lose my Dplace.
Do it all for the Emoment. Do it all to fill the Aday.
[Verse 3]
AThere’s a box beneath my bed that I probably shouldn’t Ekeep.
It’s got pictures I don’t Dlook at. It’s got letters I don’t Aread.
I could put it in the Aground. Make a holy place to Epray.
I could throw it in the Dfire. Pretend to walk Aaway.
We are sentimental Alosers. We are comfortable in Edoubt.
When we come in for the Dlanding. Everytime we’re coming Adown.
There’s a box beneath my Abed that I probably shouldn’t Ekeep.
It’s got pictures I don’t Dlook at. It’s got letters I don’t Aread.

I watched a bird get hit and dance between the asphalt and the grass.

I could put it in the ground. Make a holy place to pray.

We are sentimental losers. We are comfortable in doubt.

There’s a box beneath my bed that I probably shouldn’t keep.

D A

It’s got pictures I don’t look at. It’s got letters I don’t read.
