Rope Tree Swing (Alternate Version)

I've got a feeling
Everyone's leaving
Everything up to the one above
When the lights turn dim
Switch the flashlight on
A place you once called home
Is now the dying sun
I've found a new hope
Tied to a rope tree swing
Above a trenched swamp
Someone pour some water in
Letting go
Dig me out
Landed flat on my back
Eyes fixated on my way back home

You thought
Everything you touched turned gold
You thought
Your shadow would protect your soul
Stars guide
A way for those who roam alone
Don't hide
In the spaces where the dead go

Every place you've ever been
And everything you've ever seen
You've done it living life like a rope tree swing

Even when your chips were down
Rock bottom had you on the ground
You got up living life like a rope tree swing

Living life like a rope tree swing
Carefree getting high feeling young again

Your in a daydream
Watching r.e.m
On your thousand inch hd
Ultra super sonic windscreen
Life shouldn't be so hard
How come everybody hurts?
A place you once felt safe
Now you won't go to alone

You thought
Everything you touched turned gold
You thought
Your shadow would protect your soul
Stars guide
A way for those who roam alone
Don't hide
In the spaces where the dead go
You thought
Your future was a broken dream
You thought
That you could never stay clean
Stars guide
A way for those who roam alone
Don't hide
In the spaces where the dead go

Every place you've ever been
And everything you've ever seen
You've done it living life like a rope tree swing

Even when your chips were down
Rock bottom had you on the ground
You got up living life like a rope tree swing

Living life like a rope tree swing
Carefree getting high feeling young again

Here's to the hero's
Here's to the lake stone throws
Here's to the last old lost and lonely souls
Here's to the never give ups
And the never give ins
The ones who never get down
Whatever state their in

You thought
Everything you touched turned gold
You thought
Your shadow would protect your soul
Stars guide
A way for those who roam alone
Don't hide
In the spaces where the dead go
You thought
Your future was a broken dream
You thought
That you could never stay clean
Stars guide
A way for those who roam alone
Don't hide
In the spaces where the dead go

Every place you've ever been
And everything you've ever seen
You've done it living life like a rope tree swing

Even when your chips were down
Rock bottom had you on the ground
You got up living life like a rope tree swing

Living life like a rope tree swing
Carefree getting high feeling young again

You've found a new hope
Tied to your rope tree swing
Your never giving up
Your never giving in
