Yellow Second - Hello to Never Lyrics

Goodbye to what, if hello to never
So long to someday too
Just dig a hole
And put my coffin under

How many times have I tried to sever?
How long until I'm through
But if I let go
I know I'll often wonder

So never run
I can think a way out of it
Don't pretend to know how
But I know why

Try to swim but don't sink
Come up above it
Treading water right now
It's do or die

I know better than anyone, it's true
I'm getting on but I'm getting better too

Admit defeat, let down your defenses
Why do you have to fight
A losing cause
To find the thing you're missin'?

Know when you're beat and come to your senses
Still I'm compelled to write
Without applause
And though no one will listen

So never run
I can think a way out of it
Don't pretend to know how
But I know why

Try to swim but don't sink
Come up above it
Get it going right now
It's do or die

Give it up or get away
I shouldn't wonder
In a decade or a day
It's hard to tell

Give it up or get it right
I'm going under
Yeah, but not without a fight
It's just as well

I know better than anyone could guess
I'm getting tired of all this now, I confess

If only my art could somehow relate
Then maybe my life would then imitate
The things I'd contrive and not what I feel
But would be right, it wouldn't be real

So never run
I can think a way out of it
Don't pretend to know how
But I know why

Try to swim but don't sink
Come up above it
Treading water right now
It's do or die

Give it up or get away
I shouldn't wonder
In a decade or a day
It's hard to tell

Give it up or get it right
I'm going under
Yeah, but not without a fight
It's just as well

Don't look now, they're coming after you
Dig in, though you don't know what to do
Something's gonna happen any day
But what, I can't say

I know better than anyone, it's true
I'm getting on but I'm getting better too
