written by Sean Patterson



The rain beats down upon my head as I walk out of this room

Soaking my clothes straight to the bone, penetrating my shoes

The sun set down on the horizon and hasn't been seen for days

Must have gone out for some lunch and had a lot to say



This life, I want it back

This life, you can have it back



CHORUS:



Cause they've been my Gepetto

They could pull my strings

Playing tug of war with my life at stake

It's a battle that we can win





The forecast calls for sun, I hope he'll show his face

I've been set aside by nothing I've done, falling under grace

The sun comes up over the horizon and quickly leaves me dry

The reflection on the puddles so strong, I have to close my eyes



This life, I want it back

This life, you can have it back



CHORUS:



Cause they've been my Gepetto

I was tangled in the strings

Playing tug of war with my life at stake

It's a battle that we can win

It's a battle that we can win





I'll never walk on the moon and I'll never parts the seas

I don't want to be my own again, want to do things I never dreamed



This life, I don't want it back

This life, I don't want it back



Cause now you're my Gepetto

You could pull my strings

But you'll be my Jiminy Cricket

You give me life and set me free
