lyrics

On the corner of rebirth and death
I found you pacing and holding your breath
And I said, “hey, I think I know you”
You said, “I’ve got a war to go through,
Darling, stay here, please — help me clear my head”

And the light hit you just below your eyes
Revealing all your secrets, dreams and lies
And your heartbeat was hard against my heart, beneath the scars,
I wanted more but I forced out a “goodbye.”

‘Cause I would go with you anywhere,
But I can’t follow you down there
So rest well tonight,
Be truthful, be brave, be kind
Just know that whatever you find Is exactly right
And I’ll see you on the other side.

I too have been down into the maze
I know the panic, that cold fever haze
I carved a map on my skin
To find my way back again
Then dove right into the blood from my own veins

And I would go with you anywhere,
But I can’t follow you down there
So rest well tonight,
Be truthful, be brave, be kind,
Just know that whatever you find Is exactly right
And I’ll see you on the other side.

Well I found demons in my sleep
They said, “We are the keepers of the things you dare not speak”
And I said, “Look at me, I am so very weak, can’t hardly lift my feet —
I think it’s time we finally meet.”

So I set the table to host
And invited all my villains and ghosts
And the lessons they showed me, love
There’s no need to go speaking of,
'Cause you are out unearthing your own.

And I would go with you anywhere,
But I can’t follow you down there
So rest well tonight,
Be truthful, be brave, be kind
Remember, whatever you find — it’s exactly right,
And I’ll see you on the other side.

I’ll see you on the other side.
