Something Bigger Than This

It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out

A short walk to the corner store
Spilling small change in my hand
A young man tore his body apart
Right in front of my house on the train tracks

The seals turned their heads to the smell of death
Of broken bones or a spot of blood
And police lights, flashlight, Christmas nights
And celebrating that it wasn't me this time

Waking up in the same old scare
It ain't easy to believe
We were born for something bigger than this

It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out

I imagined a pale, square painting in the hallway
Where your portrait used to hang
Your family couldn't stand the heartache
They took your picture down and left your room the same

I ain't ever let the scars write that
But that's all we have when people think of us when we're dead
We all find ourselves on the train tracks
The good die young and the old die bitter singing

It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out

It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out

And my life flashed before my eyes
And I didn't care how we left it
I'm still fighting through my twenties
Waiting for someone to say I made it
Golden boy, tiny pay check
Big ideas, broken heartstrings

Waking up in the same old scare
It ain't easy to believe
We were born for something bigger than this

It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out
(Something bigger than this)

It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it will all come together when the lights go out
(Something bigger than this)
