There are times I've wondered if we were just born to die
When my feet were on the earth but I was crashing with the tides
In a storm I called you begging for a change
I couldn't take the water muddying my brain
I have tried to fight you and wasted all my strength
But I'm lost in all the answers that I thought you gave
Oh I know, it's you
Heaven is a heartache that I've begged to pass me by
But ready is a word I've weakened my whole life
