a thousand miles
Reconcile Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who would have thought we'd end up here living things you never dreamt of. and we fear things that you will never know and believe in what you can't relate to. and we keep holding on to our friends and hope this never ends we could get so far they wont break us now. every kid we met, every song we sang, another mile we walked towards the truth. like I once heard "I don't care if I'm alone now, I was alone when I got here" left aside, behind and broken but this is still my time. my time to live and my time to believe that it's time for us all to look up at our dreams just keep singing along we'll keep playing these songs till it's through, till all this pain is through
