The Concept Stays

Follow them, bowing out, throw me the flag, I'll take the opportunity
Stuck in the moment, I'd pay the price if there's a possibility
I've been caught in the standards, dragged it through the gutter
And what I left there doesn't mean a thing
Follow them, bowing out, I'll pay the price if there's a possibility

I won't stay here, I won't stay here
I won't stay here, I've got to make the most of mine

Now we hold the key and no doubt we always have
Don't you remember telling me that there's a lifetime to make these mistakes
And when it's almost over, we'll wish we would've made more
Yeah, when the storm is over, we'll wish we would've made more

I won't stay here, I won't stay, I'll take the opportunity
Flat out I'll stick it out, senses awake, accept responsibility
Taking it farther, I'll weed right through the clutter
What's left behind there doesn't mean a thing
Follow them, bowing out, I'll pay the price if there's a possibility
Never easy to mend when all the pieces stand so far away

Well, I've been spending a long time looking in
Feel the pulse and it's aggravating
Push and pull while the concept stays
And I can't get a peace of mind and my head keeps racing
And I can't get a peace of mind and my head keeps racing (racing)
I fear my options running out
Why isn't it getting easier to cope (to cope) without (without)?
To cope (to cope) without (without)?
And I can't get a peace of mind and my head keeps racing (racing)

Inventory, I throw it away
I'd rather mistakes. I'd rather not stay
I won't stay here, I won't stay if there's a possibility
I won't stay here, I won't stay if there's a possibility
I won't stay here, I won't stay, I'll take the opportunity
I won't stay here, I won't stay, I'll take the opp-, the opportunity
