Makes You You

Cut to modern day
The future's breathing
Breathing down my neck
The paths are long and lined with ghosts
I'm losing
My train won't reach its wreck

Cause there's always a way
To outlive the truth
Corners to stash
The secrets from your youth
So when time proves you wrong
Will they be dead and gone
Is it the guilt that you pay
That makes you

Do you remember all that makes you you
Time is the only thing that makes you new

The rain has stopped, the sun comes out and we're back in my room
We're seventeen we begin
The rainbow curling through the sky outside I can't wait
This will never happen again
The things we do in the dark of the night
We get away with them but do we ever get away
The searchlight lurches down at you like time is the hunter
It's you who are the prey

Cause there's always a way
To outlive the truth
Corners to stash
The secrets from your youth
So when time proves you wrong
Will they be dead and gone
Is it the guilt that you pay
That makes you

Do you remember all that makes you you
Time is the only thing that makes you new
Do you remember all that makes you you
Time is the only thing that makes you you

I would give my world away to get back to the room
Where the future was going to begin
We only ever get to see the paths that we take
What of the ones we rescind
They wind along our memories like ghosts in machines
Like this is what could have been
But if we got that second chance do you think it would change the way we've
Always known it would end

Cause there's always a way
To outlive the truth
Corners to stash
The secrets from your youth
So when time proves you wrong
Will they be dead and gone
Is it the guilt that you pay
That makes you

Do you remember all that makes you you
Time is the only thing that makes you new
Do you remember all that makes you you
Time is the only thing that makes
You you
