Intro | | verse 1 This is a life of extremes Both sides are slippery and enticing These are my places off the rails verse 2 And this, my loose recollection of a falling I barely remember who I failed I was just trying to keep it together Pre-Chorus This is my first wave of my white flag This is the sound of me hitting bottom This my surrender, if that's what you call it In the anatomy of my crash Chorus And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still verse 3 Me, the notorious bottom dweller Me, the ceiling-less brave explorer Lured to the ends of overwhelm Pre-Chorus This is my first wave of the white flag This is the sound of me hitting bottom This my surrender, if that's what I call it In the anatomy of my crash Chorus And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still verse 4 Such pretty forks in the road On this continuum I've been bouncing Life flashing promise before my eyes Pre-Chorus This is my first wave of the white flag This is the sound of me hitting bottom This my surrender, if I can bare it In the anatomy of my crash Chorus And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still Outro | | (x4)
