I TRIED GOIN' AGAINST
MY OWN SOUL'S WARNIN'
BUT IN THE END
SOMETHIN' JUST
DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT
OH, I... TRIED DIVIN'
EVEN THOUGH
THE SKY WAS STORMIN'
AND I JUST WANTED TO GET
BACK TO WHERE YOU ARE
IF YOU COULD SEE
THROUGH THE BANNER
OF THE SUN
INTO ETERNITY'S EYES
LIKE A VISION
REACHIN' DOWN TO YOU
WOULD YOU TURN AWAY
WHAT IF IT KNEW YOU
BY YOUR NAME
WHAT KIND OF WORDS
WOULD CUT THROUGH
THE CLUTTER OF THE
WHIRLWIND OF THESE DAYS
I TRIED GOIN' AGAINST
MY OWN SOUL'S WARNIN'
BUT IN THE END
SOMETHIN' JUST
DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT
OH, I... TRIED DIVIN'
EVEN THOUGH
THE SKY WAS STORMIN'
THUNDERHEADS WERE FORMIN'
BUT THEN I THOUGHT
I COULD FLY
AND WHEN I HIT THE GROUND
IT MADE A MESSED UP SOUND
AND IT KEPT ON RATTLIN'
THROUGH MY DAYS
AND CUTTIN' UP MY NIGHTS
LIKE A GOD-DAMN KNIFE
AND IT GOT ME THINKIN'
NO MATTER HOW FAR
THAT I JUST WANTED TO GET
BACK TO WHERE YOU ARE
I TRIED GOIN' AGAINST
MY OWN SOUL'S WARNIN'
BUT IN THE END
SOMETHIN' JUST
DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT
OH, I... TRIED RUNNIN'
FROM THE MEMORY
AND THE MOURNIN'
BUT THE PENALTY
KEPT ON POURIN'
AND NOW I THINK I KNOW WHY
'CAUSE WHEN I HIT THE GROUND
IT MADE A MESSED UP SOUND
AND IT KEPT ON RATTLIN'
THROUGH MY DAYS
AND CUTTIN' UP MY NIGHTS
LIKE A GOD-DAMN KNIFE
AND IT GOT ME THINKIN'
NO MATTER HOW FAR
THAT I JUST WANTED TO GET
BACK TO WHERE YOU ARE
OH... OH... YEAH
OH... OH... YEAH
YEAH, OH-OH-OH-OH
OH-OH-OH-OH-OH
