It seems every time I reach a light,
The signal's always turning red.
Even this city's against me,
It knows I'm just a wretch.

But I cross the street anyways,
The saddest songs in my head.
No one comes back here anymore,
They all grew up and left.

The moon disappears and I remember,
I used to be afraid of the night.
But now I know that in the morning,
A sun's gonna rise.

Cause everything's predetermined,
Yeah, everyone's gonna die.
So maybe we just make the best of it,
Just then I realized

Maybe it was me forestalling summer,
Maybe I was the cause of this disease,
Maybe I was the only one wrong,
Only one dead and gone,
Maybe I'm the reason why I've been so lonely.

Yeah, I've been so lonely.
I haven't seen you in so long.
I'm so sick of this downwards rollercoaster feeling,
But I keep getting back on and on.

(I've got to get back on my feet)

You were the prettiest of roses,
Did I really think you'd stay?
Flowers only wilt away,
I knew you'd only wilt away.

(I've got to get back on my feet)

And lately I've been building this
Impenetrable wall in between,
And hiding my heart underneath the sheets,
And scribbling these lousy verses of poetry,
And falling down so willingly,
But now I've got to get back on my feet.

Maybe it was me forestalling summer, (summer)
Maybe I was the cause of this disease,
(this uncurable disease)
Maybe I was the only one wrong,
Only one dead and gone,
Maybe I'm the reason why I've been so lonely.

Maybe I caused this freezing winter,
But I'm ready for some change.
And I would love to start it all over,
And would love to love you forever,
If you think it's still not too late.
