Any Other Way

If I leave this place a thousand times
And came back 999
Would you string the gallows in your mind
And wait for me to fade with time

It's tough to take old bridges down
Without burning them all to the ground
So a new one might fit better now
The purposes this heart has found

Hold on to me
Let me pretend that I don't want to leave
For a moment

Hey old friend from another earth
I can still see dirt all over your shirt
And the bruises on your arms and chest
From a hundred thousand ground ball reps

Now the questions I'm stuck in between
Are what happened to you and what happened to me?
And who'd have thought someday you'd miss
The freedom to not give a shit

Hold on to me
Let me pretend that I don't want to leave
For a moment

Well the wind's picking up and the boat's moving quick
But you know you wouldn't turn back even if they paid you for it
And no one's paying you for it

So thank God when you pray
For another long day
Cause they only get shorter
And you wouldn't want it any other way
Cause there ain't any other way

So keep moving' along

Well the wind's picking up and the boat's moving quick
But you know you wouldn't turn back even if they paid you for it
And no one's paying you for it

So thank God when you pray
For another long day
Cause they only get shorter
And you wouldn't want it any other way
Cause there ain't any other way
(Keep movin' along)
