A kiss for the miles to drive A prayer for when it rains One shot of perspective A couple more to k** the pain When all the best metaphors Are hitting too close to home When all the best metaphors Are bleeding from your bones I'm gonna die a failure But to happiness awake You can go to sleep in hell And wake up at heaven's gate Think of all that we miss today That lay right before our eyes Think of all that fades away In the hard-pressed compromise And this is dangerous terrain We're attempting to traverse It's a crying shame But it could be a lot worse So you proceed with caution Though you're mumbling in the dark And that one shot of perspective Has finally hit your heart Faith she's a whistling train Running hard in the dark And hope is like a thing untamed Gonna lay to waste your heart Love's a little bit of God There for all to know Love's the everlasting arms That never do let go
