The Follow Through

(album: Any Man In America - 2011)

Pride
It leaves you hollow
Another attempt
Just to settle the score
A war, you know the one you built it up

It's real defining
Humiliation
Knocks at your door

And you say I blow up
I say you cave in
We never found the line between
The real and pretend
You know you should accept it
This is really the end
I know for sure, it's what I have to do
Is follow through

You're everything I ever want to be
The only one I ever need to know
I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep
And I'd sneak across the world to let her know

Yeah that's what I do
Yeah I follow through
Oh I follow through

And here I stand
I'm too close but still you're far away
You never tried but I did
And we still remain divided

Oh I can't believe that your heart's still beating
It's beating for me at all
How sad of you
But I'm not sad at all

And you say I blow up
I say you cave in
We never found the line between
The real and pretend
You know you should accept it
This is really the end
I know for sure, it's what I have to do
Is follow through

You're everything I ever want to be
The only one I ever need to know
I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep
And I'd sneak across the world to let her know

And as it falls down into night we run away
And once again divided
But each one knows just what we have to do
We do
We have to... follow through

I will lay down my heart
I will let you go
That's what's best for us all

I will lay down my heart (cause now we stand beneath the clouds and God above)
I will let you go (like we did before)
That's what's best for us all (but this time for her)
(I'll follow through)

Everything I ever want to be
The only thing I ever need to know
I'd wait for you till time lays down to sleep
And I'd sneak across the world to let her know

Hold my heart
Patiently
And take my hand
Walk with me
Cause when the evening comes
We'll set the world on fire
And I was wrong
Let me help you live on

You're everything I ever want to be
The only one I ever need to know
I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep
And I'd sneak across the world to let her know

And as it falls down into night we run away
And once again divided
But each one knows just what we have to do
We do
We have to... follow through

Hold my heart
Patiently
Take my hand
Walk with me
Cause when the evening comes
We'll set the world on fire
And I was wrong
Let me help you live on
