Lyrics
LEFT THE CITY STATE OF MIND
MADE MY MOVE RIGHT ON TIME
THE JEALOUSY THAT BLEEDS BEHIND
WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE PAST
ALL THE TIMES WE THOUGHT WOULD LAST
DISAPPEARED WAY TOO FAST
LOOKED SO DEEP INTO HER EYES
SAW THE PAIN THAT SHE DISQUISED
BUTTERFLY WINGS THAT LOOK LIKE EYES
(CHORUS)
OPEN YOUR MIND LET YOURSELF GO FREE
KILL ALL THE REASONS WE SHOULD FAIL
CAST YOUR OWN SPELL OVER DESTINY
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST OF ME
HEARD HER VOICE ASK TO STAY
STILL I'M FURTHER EVERY DAY
SO MUCH INSIDE MAKES MY HEAD WEIGH
MAYBE I'M A FOOL TO LEAVE
PULLED TOWARD WHAT I BELIEVE
MY CROSS TO BEAR, MY SOUL TO FEED
CLIMBING THROUGH THE ICE AND SNOW
NOT LOOKING DOWN AT MILES BELOW
OR LOOKING BACK AT THE MILES BETWEEN US
(REPEAT CHORUS)
