lyrics

What's 10 years late and always on the fence
checking my shoulder waiting in suspense
sometimes you get ahead sometimes you get down
sometimes you get up just to stop and turn around

so hands in my pockets counting both shoes
some people get by by leaning on the blues
but i'm leaning so hard it's 3 shades gone
we all gotta find a place where we belong

checkmate
checkmate
checkmate
hesitate

Tell me what you want
show me you need it
we all fall down
we all fall down

show me what you want
tell me you believe it
we all fall down
we all fall down

the signs are in the sky
you know we don't need it
we all fall down
we all fall down

surrender those words will there's nothing left to say
sober nights to sobriety today
some rooms feel dark some places feel cold
how far can you go till you stop feeling old

i'm tired of walking i'm hitching a ride
life's too short to keep it all inside
sometimes we get high to stop feeling low
what do you do when there's no place left to go
