It seems every time I reach a light,
The signal's always turning red
Even this city's against me,
It knows I'm just a wretch

But I cross the street anyways,
The saddest songs in my head
No one comes back here anymore,
They all grew up and left

The moon disappears and I remember,
I used to be afraid of the night
But now I know that in the morning,
A sun's gonna rise

Cause everything's predetermined,
Yeah, everyone's gonna die
So maybe we just make the best of it,
Just then I realized

Maybe it was me forestalling summer,
Maybe I was the cause of this disease,
Maybe I was the only one wrong,
Only one dead and gone,
Maybe I'm the reason why I've been so lonely

Yeah, I've been so lonely
I haven't seen you in so long
I'm so sick of this downwards rollercoaster feeling,
But I keep getting back on and on

(I've got to get back on my feet)

You were the prettiest of roses,
Did I really think you'd stay?
Flowers only wilt away,
I knew you'd only wilt away

(I've got to get back on my feet)

And lately I've been building this
Impenetrable wall in between,
And hiding my heart underneath the sheets,
And scribbling these lousy verses of poetry,
And falling down so willingly,
But now I've got to get back on my feet

Maybe it was me forestalling summer, (summer)
Maybe I was the cause of this disease,
(this uncurable disease)
Maybe I was the only one wrong,
Only one dead and gone,
Maybe I'm the reason why I've been so lonely

Maybe I caused this freezing winter,
But I'm ready for some change
And I would love to start it all over,
And would love to love you forever,
If you think it's still not too late
