You took a stage dive into my heart
And now the distance tears me apart
You took a stage dive into my heart
And now this distance tears me
The distance tears me apart
The lights are flashing
The cymbals crashing
But I'm just lost in your eyes
And I'm still reeling
From things I'm feeling
They came as quite the surprise
And in another time (and in another time)
I swear you would be mine
You took a stage dive into my heart
And now the distance tears me apart
You took a stage dive into my heart
And now this distance tears me
The distance tears me apart
The bands are playing
And fans are swaying
But I'm just locked on your smile
If things were different
And we were different
I'd hold your hand for awhile
I swore I wouldn't cry (I swore I wouldn’t cry)
That night we said goodbye
You took a stage dive into my heart
And now the distance tears me apart
You took a stage dive into my heart
And now this distance tears me
The distance tears me apart
Stage dive
Into my heart
Distance
Tears me apart
You took a stage dive into my heart
And now the distance tears me apart
You took a stage dive into my heart
And now this distance tears me
The distance tears me apart
You took a stage dive into my heart
And now the distance tears me apart
You took a stage dive into my heart
And now this distance tears me
The distance tears me apart

What could I ever do
Worthy of their affection
I'm just an average guy
So full of imperfection
They seem so self-assured
Feels like they've got it figured out
I'm trying to find my place
But I'm plagued by worry and doubt
Wish I could see
What you see in me
Why do I look to other people
It's only by your grace that I'll find peace
This only serves to build a steeple (for hiding)
All my insecurities
What the world thinks
Is meaningless but still I
Care what this world thinks
And I'm good at playing the nice guy
I'll deal with anything
For fear of their rejection
I'll become anything
Don't know my own reflection
Wish I could see
What you see in me
Why do I look to other people
It's only by your grace that I'll find peace
This only serves to build a steeple (for hiding)
All my insecurities
Why do I look to other people
It's only by your grace that I'll find peace
This only serves to build a steeple (for hiding)
All my insecurities
Why do I look to other people
It's only by your grace that I'll find peace
This only serves to build a steeple (for hiding)
All my insecurities
Why do I seek admiration from others
Why can't I simply find solace in you
Why do I seek admiration from others
Why can't I simply find solace in you
Why do I seek the approval of others
Knowing it's through you that I'll find my peace
This only serves to build up a steeple
Hiding my fears of inadequacy
Why do I seek the approval of others
Knowing it's through you that I'll find my peace
This only serves to build up a steeple
Hiding my fears of inadequacy

I did it once again
I opened myself up
And now I regret it
All those words I said
I couldn't keep my mouth shut
I wish you'd forget it
I shouldn't have said those things I said
I chose to spill my guts instead
And now I'm stuck back in my head
Every time you open up your heart
You open up the real
Possibility of
Getting hurt again
It's never easy to be real about
Emotions that you feel
But it's worth the risk, my friend
I did it once again
I cut myself open
And now I'm left bleeding
Heart upon my sleeve
Spirit is broken
All hope is depleting
I shouldn't have said those things I said
I chose to spill my guts instead
And now I'm stuck back in my head
Every time you open up your heart
You open up the real
Possibility of
Getting hurt again
It's never easy to be real about
Emotions that you feel
But it's worth the risk, my friend
Is it worth the risk my friend
Knowing that I'll get hurt again
Is it worth the risk my friend
Knowing that I'll get hurt again
I shouldn't have said those things I said
I chose to spill my guts instead
And now I'm stuck back in my head
Every time you open up your heart
You open up the real
Possibility of
Getting hurt again
It's never easy to be real about
Emotions that you feel
But it's worth the risk, my friend

Well I'll be forty in the fall
And I've got no friends at all
Or at least none ever call
Because the good times always end
And it's hard to find a friend
Or that seems to be the trend
As life keeps going on
And I get older (I get older)
It gets so hard for me to find a friend
And we keep moving on
But we get older (we get older)
I thought that you'd be with me to the end
All my friends live far from here
And I see them once a year
Really wish that you were near
But we'll meet again someday
So I'll try to be okay
From a million miles away
As life keeps going on
And I get older (I get older)
It gets so hard for me to find a friend
And we keep moving on
But we get older (we get older)
I thought that you'd be with me to the end
Online friends are great
But they all live in different states (different states)
As life keeps going on
And I get older (I get older)
It gets so hard for me to find a friend
And we keep moving on
But we get older (We get older)
I thought that you'd be with me to the end
As life keeps going on
And I get older (I get older)
It gets so hard for me to find a friend
And we keep moving on
But we get older (we get older)
I thought that you'd be with me to the end

Thought that I had the answers
Thought that I had life figured out (hey hey)
Thought that I knew what I believed
Thought that I knew what I'm about (okay)
Feels like I'm going through the motions
Without a path to call my own
But when I'm left with my emotions
I find I'm far away from home (from home)
When I think that I have
Found my way back where I'm meant to be
I end up wondering
If there's something else I'm looking for
It becomes clear to me
That I'm still wandering
Wish I could push on through this
Wish I could leave this all behind (alright)
Wish I could step outside my head
Wish I could stop and clear my mind (tonight)
Feels like I'm going through the motions
Without a path to call my own
But when I'm left with my emotions
I find I'm far away from home (from home)
When I think that I have
Found my way back where I'm meant to be
I end up wondering
If there's something else I'm looking for
It becomes clear to me
That I'm still wandering
I'm left wondering
I'm left wondering
I'm left wondering
Come on!
When I think that I have
Found my way back where I'm meant to be
I end up wondering
If there's something else I'm looking for
It becomes clear to me
That I'm still wandering

This seems so far away
From where we used to be
Wish I could close my eyes
See what I used to see
What I used to see
This seems so far away
From where we used to be
Wish I could close my eyes
See what I used to see
What I used to see
