[Verse 1]
A kiss for the miles to drive
A prayer for when it rains
One shot of perspective
A couple more to kill the pain
When all the best metaphors
Are hitting too close to home
When all the best metaphors
Are bleeding from your bones
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna die a failure
But to happiness awake
You can go to sleep in hell
And wake up at heaven's gate
Think of all that we missed today
That lay right before our eyes
Think of all that fades away
In the hard-pressed compromise
[Chorus]
And this is dangerous terrain
We're attempting to traverse
And it's a crying shame
But it could be a lot worse
A kiss for the miles to drive
A prayer for when it rains
One shot of perspective
A couple more to kill the pain
When all the best metaphors
Are hitting too close to home
When all the best metaphors
Are bleeding from your bones
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna die a failure
But to happiness awake
You can go to sleep in hell
And wake up at heaven's gate
Think of all that we missed today
That lay right before our eyes
Think of all that fades away
In the hard-pressed compromise
[Chorus]
And this is dangerous terrain
We're attempting to traverse
And it's a crying shame
But it could be a lot worse
