lyrics

Sometimes the fear we feel holds back a change
Sometimes the beauty is lost in the shame
And when we wake everything's the same
Sometimes the road isn't smooth as we'd like
Sometimes the only things left is to fight
But it's ok 'cause the road is right

I know everything's working towards an end
Maybe things will change and we'll start again
on this side of paradise
I know things are hard but the pain will mend
and I will never stop loving you my friend
on this side of paradise

Sometimes the forest is lost in the trees
Sometimes the storm prunes the branches we need
but healing comes when we start to bleed
And with the morning sun, there is more to come
And we'll march to a different drum

Chorus

And when the evening falls
I hope you break your walls
when they come tumbling down
I hope you stand by me
but I won't waste your time
talking about my life
but if you walked away
I'd always wait right here

Chorus
