Thankfully
(album: The Walking Wounded)
That´s just like me when everything´s gone wrong
To latch onto something even less stable, less good
I needed an anchor for my sinking ship
It´s just like me to attach it to my heart instead
I think this was a test
To see how long I could hold my breath
I understand, but I gotta remind myself
That even at my worst I can keep my head
Alone I stand
United we fall apart
One union under God
But not for long, thankfully
That´s just like me when everything else fails
To go for the gold, the unattainable goals
Enough´s not enough when you´re beat to the floor
As if heartache´s not heartache enough anymore
I think this was a test
To see how long I could hold my breath
I understand, but I gotta remind myself
That even at my worst I can keep my head
Alone I stand
United we fall apart
One union under God
But not for long, thankfully
When we were young we never cared
And now we´re scared of jumping in
Like we´ve forgotten how to swim
But if we try and if we tread
then we can teach ourselves again
´Cause it´s worth the chance we take
When we were young we never cared
But now we´re scared of jumping in
Like we´ve forgotten how to swim
But I think that we should try and we should tread
´Cause if we never take another dip again
We´ll never know the joy that failure brings
I understand, but I gotta remind myself
That even at my worst I can keep my head
Alone I stand
United we fall apart
One union under God
But not for long,
One union under God
But not for long, thankfully
