The Climb Letra

life was chasing a whim

that's disguised as a dream

but soon

what i'll be thinking's

not what i've been thinking

the call came today

everything's about to change

got used to the feeling

life's not what you make it

and we were so safe

in our routines i faked

but they've just put the lights on

i see the horizon

they want it

i'm writhing

it's too late

can't walk out now



(prechorus)

we're climbing so higher

and higher and higher

the sound of my breath

it fades with the light

we're climbing so higher

and higher and higher

but i left my thoughts down there

with you last night





swore i would escape

from what others had made

the most comfortable days

i thought i'd always hate

but with every day

what i want seems to change

it just scares me to think

you'll get thrown in someday

our faces can't hide

what i'm feeling inside

wondering how anyone

can stand to live this way

but they've forced my attention

you can't help but hear them

they call us

divide us

it's too late

can't get out now



(prechorus)



(chorus)

we'll drink till

we're cold

then we'll make our way home

you can sleep on the road

it's my fault

and they know

+

but i'll fix things

get us back i swear

i'm trying i'm trying

while knowing

it might be too late

but i can't say it



(bridge)

let's try for something

that we've never had

i'll give this up

just let me lead



(chorus)

+

and they know something's wrong

and they follow me close

when i don't see an end

don't know how i'll pretend

that we'll make it

make it back i swear

and i'm trying i'm trying

while knowing

it might be too late
