i miss you before you’ve gone
erasing these images so poorly drawn
waiting to hear about somebody’s happy tomorrow
bravely wielding hope that i borrow

if i could’ve made these ropes disappear
i would have reached out and pulled you here
if i’d latched on, dug in, didn’t let go
i wouldn’t miss you so

we were gods among men, all over again, now it’s time to go
we were gods among men, all over again, but now it’s time to go
we were gods among men, how could we begin, we should’ve known
we were gods among men, how could we begin, we should’ve known

i could wait for you at the edge of the wrong ocean
willing the world to break the laws of motion
the sky as my witness, the sun hanging high
did i really have to try

we were gods among men, all over again, now it’s time to go
we were gods among men, all over again, but now it’s time to go
we were gods among men, how could we begin, we should’ve known
we were gods among men, how could we begin, we should’ve known

shall we try this again
you whisper in the dark
there’s fear when you touch my face
that you haven’t left your mark

you are free you are free you are free
letting go from the top of your victory tree
you are free, you had your way
sailing across your blackened sea

the same pulse that breaks your bones
rushes your hand to throw stones
you sacrificed the whitest lamb
to hear its heavenly tones

you are free you are free you are free
letting go from the top of your victory tree
you are free, you had your way
sailing across your blackened sea

shall we try this again
again and again
shall we try this all over again
again and again and again

you are free you are free you are free
letting go from the top of your victory tree
you are free, you had your way
sailing across your blackened sea

if i just lay down on the floor
and hope i can’t fall any more
i look up in this dark room
it’s feeling like an ancient tomb

i’m not apollo, not some pretty greek god
not that new town in the desert with the old west facade
i’m real, i’m here
you might have to ask for something when i should just volunteer

but know this, please hear me now
you won’t find a truer promise, or a stronger spoken vow
know this, please hear me now
you won’t find a truer promise, or a stronger spoken vow

you might turn and walk away
i might curse up something mean
you can wash my mouth with bitter soap
and i’ll try to keep it clean

they never engraved us on some far-flung satellite
but we can launch and leave this far behind, let the sun re-ignite

i’m not apollo, not some pretty greek god
not that new town in the desert with the old west facade
i’m real, i’m here
you might have to ask for something when i should just volunteer

but know this, please hear me now
you won’t find a truer promise, or a stronger spoken vow
know this, please hear me now
you won’t find a truer promise, or a stronger spoken vow
