Goes On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I left your text on read Let the day wear thin That old red jacket Still on my chair again You took the last train out I took the long way home Funny how the door stays shut But the floorboards know [Pre-Chorus] I tried to hold it still Tried to hold my breath But the hands keep moving Even after all this One more step, one more mile One more name I lose What broke in here last night Still don't tell me what to do [Chorus] It goes on, it goes on (oh-oh, it goes on) It goes on, it goes on (yeah, it goes on) I hurt, I heal, I rise Then I fall and start It goes on, it goes on And so do I [Verse 2] Your mug by the sink Got a crack in the side I keep washing it again Like I can change the night The street outside my window Has a hundred open doors Every one of them keeps asking What I’m staying for [Pre-Chorus] I tried to hold it still Tried to hold my breath But the hands keep moving Even after all this One more step, one more mile One more name I lose What broke in here last night Still don't tell me what to do [Chorus] It goes on, it goes on (oh-oh, it goes on) It goes on, it goes on (yeah, it goes on) I hurt, I heal, I rise Then I fall and start It goes on, it goes on And so do I [Bridge] Maybe that's the cure Maybe that's the scar Everything I lost Still led me this far I won't call it clean I won't call it done But the dark keeps thinning When I face the sun [Final Chorus] It goes on, it goes on (oh-oh, it goes on) It goes on, it goes on (yeah, it goes on) I hurt, I heal, I rise Then I fall and start It goes on, it goes on And so do I It goes on, it goes on (oh-oh, it goes on) It goes on, it goes on And I’m still alive
