Search and find
How far would you go for peace of mind
Cause I’ve climbed every hill in sight
And it still feels like something that’s too hard to find
So I fell asleep on the ride to your place
Cause I don’t know how much more distance I can take
Midsummer nights leave behind a weird taste
Cause one day you’re around and then you’re gone without a trace
My illusion, you come around and go around whenever you please
My poison, won’t you stay a little longer now
Cause it digs at me deep down when you’re not around
That distance is a drug that melts your fears
I guess that’s why you keep from getting near
I know this isn’t what you want to hear
But I really wish you hadn’t left this year
If only I could flip a switch and be there right now
Cause I remember being kids when we’d just play around
As I get older I can see there’s no point running now
Cause what I’m searching for is something I’ve already found
You come around and go around
You come around and go around
You come around and go around
That distance is a drug that melts your fears
I guess that’s why you keep from getting near
I know this isn’t what you want to hear
But I really wish you hadn’t left this year

I never got my foot in the door
I always told you what you were looking for
So now I have to keep up the story I taught you
The story I taught you, the story I taught you
The little white lies oh they add up with time
Til it feels like living two lives
The distance keeps growing inside, the distance keeps growing inside
I wish I could have a second first time
To see the world without a pair of blind eyes
Go back in time
Looking back at the footprints that we left behind
It’s coming down now but your prints are well-defined
I can’t say that I did what you wanted me to do
But I did what I thought was right and that’ll have to do
That’ll have to do
Too many times I told you lies
Just for that feeling like I did you right
This wasn’t your fault, no it was mine
I knew what you wanted so I never crossed that line
I'm sorry I left you out my sight
I was always on your side, always on your side
I wish I could have a second first time
To see the world without a pair of blind eyes
Go back in time, for a chance to make this right
I used to talk to you all the time, even though I was alone
I walked around for months talking to you
Now, I don’t know what to say
It was easier when I just imagined you

I don't know why we always find
A way to take what we once knew and put it behind
And move onto the next like we haven't tried this all before
Don't you get a feeling of deja vu
Cause something is awry and it keeps haunting you
You shouldn't drop your life out of the blue
Cause old faces will appear in the new
Wherever you go, your past follows you
It really feels like we've all been here before
Before
Don't you ever feel like you fell too far
The life that you once had starts to fall apart
You'd rummage through that rabbit hole to fill the void in your heart
But you'll never get the high that you want
So try what you must, but it's never quite enough
You'd rummage through that rabbit hole to fill the void in your heart
Cause old faces will appear in the new
Wherever you go, they follow suit
It really feels like we've all been here before

Do you ever get that feeling that something's just not right
It's the crack in the glass and the splinter in your mind
Everything you can't quite describe
You say I'm better off ignoring it
Just stick to rings of comfort cause
You say you've already been here before
But I can't help but look through the cracks
Though I don’t quite understand how to fill in these gaps
I still run miles away
I could open up pandora's box and see what's really out there
But there's something holding me here like a chain that I can't unlock
But bright light, flows right on inside
Masking out the shadows in my sight
And now there's nothing left for me to hide behind
So I get up and go on outside
But I can't help but look through the cracks
Though I don’t quite understand how to fill in these gaps
I still run miles away
‘Til I finally reach a new place where I'm blinded by the sun rays
Though it feels like I can't stay, there’s something out of place
But I can't help but look through the cracks
And though I don’t understand how to fill in these gaps
I still run miles away
I still run miles away

Illusion

It’s just an illusion, we’re only human
But you’re never around
When I need you to move in
This house has scars
Deeper than its foundation
And I know you’re losing patience
But this goes deeper than a relationship
I tighten my grip
And you don’t take my hints
And I wanna jump ship
It’s just an illusion, we’re only human
But you’re never around
When I need you to move in
This house has scars
So deep you should vacate
I didn’t want the same fate
But look where we are
We’re back where we started
I don’t know what I wanted
We’re back where we started
I don’t know what I wanted
It’s just an illusion, we’re only human
But you’re never around
When I need you to move in
We’re back where we started
I don’t know what I wanted
We’re back where we started
I don’t know what I wanted
