Jersey Barrier Lyrics

A bitter storm ends, which you had your sights on

Back in junior high, to lock yourself in

Just keep it held up, till your arms just shake

And the hopes are falling down your face

Before they were ironclad, and they were held up high

Now they just keep you from sleep at night

Undeserving, I

Shot for the nearest exit sign

July, we gave up, and its death to think

All we could've gained if we'd just held out

The fields that we ran, and I'm at the end

Of every edge I could've swore I had

It's not that hard, it was impossible

July, we gave up, and its death to think

All we could've been if we'd just held out

Some swore, I walked away

It's light, how the sun never met that line

And shapes who we are today

I looked to the path we were taking, long

Decided it wasn't at all

I blinked at the rows, and they soldiered on

I thought "they're on their own"

Just carve out your heart to move forward, or don't

Dreams die every day

Like wading through hell

Purposefully, you're caught

In high water still

This moment is yours for the taking, long

After the follow through

You already proved you were valid

Can't bring yourself to anymore

And that's ok

Are we better off

Than we were back then?

Do you regret what you've done?

Are you over it?

Are we better off

Than we were back then?

Did you not have the strength to slay the summer wind?

Are we better off

Then we were back then?

Do you regret

Giving in to the undercurrent?
