lyrics

I try to look you in the eyes
But you just think I criticize you
I take you through the atmosphere
But you just seem to disappear too

I run, I jump, I call your name
I take the ball, I win the game
But you still want to take the blame
Do you want to…

(Chorus)
Take my word
Take my hand
Take my heart
Maybe you’ll understand
Live your life
Don’t throw it away
It’s gonna be a better day

You seem to think it's permanent
What I did for you to resent me
But take a peek from under there
Open your eyes and maybe you'll see

It's not so hard to stop and think
Your perceptions are out of sync
It's possible to wipe the ink
Do you want to?

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Times and lives can take a turn
It's so easy to get burned
But there is another way
Wipe the tears that block your view
'cause the world's waiting for you
To make a better day

(Chorus 2)
Take my word
Take my hand
Let me pull you out
Of that quicksand
Contemplate
The things that I say

‘cause in your mind
It’s not sincere
When your thoughts
Are filled with fear
But in real life
Each day’s a new day
