And all my hopes and dreams
Aren't for anyone
I keep them safe and sound
And hope this picture is
Not yours anymore
But can you hear me now?
Now thats okay man
I'll say it across this land,
You should've kissed me baby
So try and stop me
Or so forgive this light
'Cuz I can't beg all night
Until my heart stops beating
You'll never hear me say
I won't kiss you
If I say,
It's lost its meaning
If I can't find my way
It's over now
But I won't
Walk away
Chorus:
Until the day
(Whoa, whoa)
I'm never backing down
(Whoa, whoa)
And hear me say
(Whoa, whoa)
I'll keep it safe and sound
(Whoa, whoa)
I'll keep it safe and
This hopeless feeling
This fear of falling down
But I'm not crashing now
For all this bleeding
It wasnt worth the sound
A million screaming out
And still
The earth comes reeling
The curtain calls my name
I'm not afraid
And I know
You may not miss me
But I am not ashamed
The choice I made
But I can't
Let this go
Chorus:
Until the day
(Whoa, whoa)
I'm never backing down
(Whoa, whoa)
Just hear me say
(Whoa, whoa)
I'll keep it safe and sound
(Whoa, whoa)
I'll keep it safe and
Bridge:
No dashing car
Or a dying star
Thats raced into the ground
Like the final words
Of the passengers
Will the angels give it all?
Were the world
Watch us fall
End Chorus:
Until the day
(Whoa, whoa)
I'm never backing down
(Whoa, whoa)
Just hear me say
(Whoa, whoa)
I'll keep it safe and sound
(Whoa, whoa)
Keep it safe and sound
(Whoa, whoa)
Keep it safe and sound
(Whoa, whoa)
Keep it safe and sound
(Whoa, whoa)
Keep it safe and sound
(Whoa, whoa)
