what's stopping you

Lyrics

i wanted to sit out of this one but my god you're so convincing, i said i would and i meant i'd try but with a wealth of doubts came a mouth full of lies, i sank my teeth in the kingdom come and spit out my years and held back my tongue, make this your business what i am about to say, the last touch between us took this all the way. don't believe for once that i could let this go away, it's right behind, these eyes of mine even if i stay, and i wanted to fix this like you fixed my name to this, i said i would and i meant i'd try but with a wealth of doubts came a mouth full of lies, i sank my teeth in the kingdom come and spit out my years pulled back my tongue, forget the wasted time we've made it, the stars are out just in time to see. the dark retreating and shadows fleeting, we found the ground beneath our feet. what's stopping you, what's stopping you don't let this in, what's stopping you, what's stopping you can't stop all of this, these clumsy arms can't be the first, distance your regrets is what i've heard, you sit there with a pardon like a present, oh my soul, those words i guess i'm never gonna be alone, but i'm on my own, don't believe for once that i would let this go away, forget the wasted time we've made it, the stars are out just in time to see. the dark retreating and shadows fleeting, we found the ground beneath our feet. what's stopping you, what's stopping you don't let this in, what's stopping you, what's stopping you can't stop all of this, always wanted to say that i would be the first. from the ground to the table i planned and rehearsed, to be there at the moment to capture my name, but it's yours and not mine and it's yours that he made, lift up your hands it's surrender or praise, so you burn all your plans for the words you believed, the nails you learned to drive between, the wood and earth that made you see, that simple men of simple means, can hold the heavens in their hands, second place i find here, the upper case is yours not mine, teach these hands to have fear, orchestrate my words and lines. but i never said i wanted any of this, i never said no
