lyrics

There are some nights when I just can't bring myself to smile.
There are some nights when I just can't bring myself to cry.
But at the end of every day I'll know that every day was mine.
There are some nights when I just can't bring myself to try.
There are some nights when I just can't lay down and die.
But when I finally do I will not care if all my choices were right.

It's a long walk to the ocean and my feet haven't taken one step.
I'm not sure where the currents will take me
But I know where the road will end.

There are some nights when I just can't give my heart away.
There are some nights when I just can't find the nerve to say.
"I don't know why I bother when you'll leave
Before you learn my name."
There are some nights when I just can't waste my time for pay.
There are some nights when I just can't find the time to play.
I'm asking why I'm singing when the future screams
"These words will be burned."

It's a long walk to the ocean and my feet haven't taken one step.
I'm not sure where the currents will take me
But I know where the road will end.
At the bottom of the sea, that's where they'll bury me.
If that's where I'll be redeemed, that's where I want to be.
