[Intro: Kurt Travis] The cool air Takes me back Just for a moment And I spent it all without realization (Realization) I have to go back I have to go back [Verse 1: Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] It's not fair I wish that time would stop for me Just this once But it never will, so run it off I'm still here I know you're waiting for me past the doorway And if it's you that's haunting me, say something If it's you that's haunting me, say something If it's you that's haunting me, just speak [Bridge: Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] I've come this far with a different map in each of my hands They're drawn completely from memory One takes me home, one takes me nowhere in particular I always seem to pick the path with all the shortcuts open And the lines and the circles more steadily drawn (I guess there's only one more way to go) I always seem to say the things that I had promised I would leave unspoken And act surprised when they come tumbling out into the air And sounding wrong (We've all been way too far away from home) I never thought of what would happen if I ever found the gate closed Tethered in rusted thread and iced over blue and gray from the cold (It's time to break off all those chains of old) But the gate holds (Holds, ah-oh, ah-ah-oh) Awing entrance to the wind and smaller leaves And I am stuck now, homebound (I guess there's only one more way to go) [Verse 2: Cory Lockwood, Kurt Travis, Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] Can I turn back? Is it too late? Is there someplace I belong? Is there any place to call a home? I guess there's only one real way to know [Interlude: Kurt Travis] Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah (Is this the only way?) Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah (Is this the only way?) [Verse 3: Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] As shallow as the water is, it swallows me And I can't stop looking at the world around me, solemnly (Oh) As we stand here in the fallen leaves Will you promise me, just promise me That no matter what the weather's like, you'll follow me, follow me? And no matter what I say, you'll take it honestly, honestly to heart? I've got a long way to go, and if I do it alone, I won't make it [Pre-Chorus: Kurt Travis] The call of the void is coming from the balcony "L'appel du vide" [Chorus: Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] So now I let my fate take over And as I sink into the consequence below This is how far we go This is how far we go So now I let my fate take over And as I sink into the consequence below This is how far we go This is how far we go [Breakdown: Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] Face forward, falling straight for the pavement Mouth open, catching death just to taste it Twist my body to align with the stars This is my favorite part This is my favorite part (Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah) Suspended close to Earth, but very far (Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah) This is my favorite part (Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah) Once we touch the ground, we forget who we are (Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah) [Outro: Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] I guess I finally had the courage to go away (Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah) The promises we made were made hollowly (Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah) Sometimes you'd reassure me we'd be okay (Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah) But you'd always leave (Ah-ah)
