Something Missing by The William Blakes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The message that I got was more than
Anyone had thought that you can
Take on any single given day
I keep imagining that we have
Dealt with everything and we can
Settle down and look the other way
[Bridge]
The mistakes we didn't make
Became fire-breathing snakes
And all the chances that we meant to take are gone
And when the walls come falling down
The demons claim you as their own
All the what-ifs in our hearts they turn to stone
[Chorus]
People going nowhere, and we keep on going fast
And before we know we've passed this way before
No one here can tell me that they got something that lasts
'Cause everything they love, they lose for sure
[Verse 2]
It only takes one missing piece
Before the house falls in the streets
And all the roofs are only broken stones
I keep imagining that we have
Dealt with everything, but I can
Feel there's something missing in my bones
[Bridge]
The mistakes we didn't make
Became fire-breathing snakes
And all the chances that we meant to take are gone
When the walls come falling down
The demons claim you as their own
All the what-ifs in our hearts they turn to stone
[Chorus]
People going nowhere, and we keep on going fast
And before we know we've passed this way before
No one here can tell me that they got something that lasts
'Cause everything they love, they lose for sure
[Verse 3]
I try to keep the distance
To the dread of my existence
But the harder that I try the more it wins
I keep imagining that we have
Dealt with everything, and I
Imagine how that feels when it begins
[Bridge]
The mistakes we didn't make
Became fire-breathing snakes
And all the chances that we meant to take are gone
And when the walls come falling down
The demons claim you as their own
All the what-ifs in our hearts they turn to stone
[Chorus]
People going nowhere, and we keep on going fast
Before we know we've passed this way before
No one here can tell me that they got something that lasts
'Cause everything they love, they lose for sure
[Instrumental Outro]
The message that I got was more than
Anyone had thought that you can
Take on any single given day
I keep imagining that we have
Dealt with everything and we can
Settle down and look the other way
[Bridge]
The mistakes we didn't make
Became fire-breathing snakes
And all the chances that we meant to take are gone
And when the walls come falling down
The demons claim you as their own
All the what-ifs in our hearts they turn to stone
[Chorus]
People going nowhere, and we keep on going fast
And before we know we've passed this way before
No one here can tell me that they got something that lasts
'Cause everything they love, they lose for sure
[Verse 2]
It only takes one missing piece
Before the house falls in the streets
And all the roofs are only broken stones
I keep imagining that we have
Dealt with everything, but I can
Feel there's something missing in my bones
[Bridge]
The mistakes we didn't make
Became fire-breathing snakes
And all the chances that we meant to take are gone
When the walls come falling down
The demons claim you as their own
All the what-ifs in our hearts they turn to stone
[Chorus]
People going nowhere, and we keep on going fast
And before we know we've passed this way before
No one here can tell me that they got something that lasts
'Cause everything they love, they lose for sure
[Verse 3]
I try to keep the distance
To the dread of my existence
But the harder that I try the more it wins
I keep imagining that we have
Dealt with everything, and I
Imagine how that feels when it begins
[Bridge]
The mistakes we didn't make
Became fire-breathing snakes
And all the chances that we meant to take are gone
And when the walls come falling down
The demons claim you as their own
All the what-ifs in our hearts they turn to stone
[Chorus]
People going nowhere, and we keep on going fast
Before we know we've passed this way before
No one here can tell me that they got something that lasts
'Cause everything they love, they lose for sure
