[Verse 2]
             
I reckon if I 

  
chose to stay
             
it be better f

      
or a few more 

days
             
but in the end

     
 it always rai

ns
             
and honey you 

             
can cause a st

orm

             
But I'm tired 

    
and soaking we

t
             
and hunkered o

              
ver tryin' to 

 
catch my breat

h
             
Broke my back 

     
and did my bes

t
             
to hold you th

            
rough the shak

es

         
But it's hard 

to keep floati

n' on a founde

red dream
       
You're takin' 

in water at cr

azy speed

How can I get 

to the shore o

n time
   
if you won't k

eep afloat

[Verse 3]
             
My heart was n

      
ever much on g

ames
             
let alone the 

 
ones you play
             
I've only got 

             
one and it's a

lready broken
             
so why you wan

              
na throw it ar


ound

             
I wish I had t

    
he strength to

 go
             
but it's a lon

       
g and hateful 

road
             
and I just now

' at home
             
in the frost y

Where we gonna
