The Mountain

I remember the days when we danced in the rain
Not afraid of the way it would end or the pain
We all bled the same
Is it wrong if I say it's not right to choose sides for the sake
of just winning the fight?
When you can't find someone to blame
I know what it's like to be the one to lose control
I know how the story goes
I'm not dying
Just trying to find a way
Back to a place in your arms my embrace
Sing the songs of yesterday
Like a drug it takes hold with a dose
But it's never around when you need it the most
Now you're closer than you've ever been
I'll be more than a myth with a smile and a kiss
I exist just to be so much more than I miss
So let's do it all again
I know what it's like to be the one to lose control
I know how the story goes
I'm not dying
Just trying to find a way
Back to a place in your arms my embrace
Sing the songs of yesterday
I'll keep climbing higher and higher each day
Until I get to the top where the world comes to a stop
And let the mountain lead the way
