I hold on to every heartache
I come a little unchained
I want to hear your name
See your face
and know your dream
Keep you anchored here with me
We curl our fingers
We're not fighters
Goodbye is hard
We never got to let it fray apart
So hold me closer
Don't say it's over
I stay hopeful
Thought I might try the stage
I'll play the part
Ask me why sir are we wiser
If we know the truth the rules are skewed
And we let them tell us that God's to blame
Ask me why sir are we wiser
If we forget the hurt
And can't stay on it until a change
Why sir are we wiser
If we've been through this before
Yet we drift between each storm
Life's like rain on the highway
It comes down hard and then it slows
The moment that it's dark you see a you you didn't know
I never have been wise
I don't know why I tried to do everything right
We need more time before we go
Yes rising
Yes rising
