Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh-oh
Verse 1
How much longer must I keep going
The clock is a liar with a crooked smile
Every page turns into another page
I fold the corner down to remember
Pre-Chorus
Maybe the road is a sentence without a period
Maybe the sky is a draft I keep rewriting
Maybe I am the comma that never resolves
Chorus
How much longer must I keep going
Keep going
How much longer must I keep going
Keep going
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Na-na-na
Oh-oh
Verse 2
I asked the mirror who wrote me this way
It answered in riddles and half-finished verbs
My shadow keeps reading my unfinished lines
A poem that stumbles but refuses to fall
Pre-Chorus
Maybe the door is a question I keep opening
Maybe the rain is an editor cruel and kind
Maybe tomorrow is a page I have not earned
Chorus
How much longer must I keep going
Keep going
How much longer must I keep going
Keep going
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Na-na-na
Oh-oh
Bridge
I write I erase I begin
A blank horizon a broken pen
Somebody somewhere is waiting to read
The ending I cannot yet see
Chorus
How much longer must I keep going
Keep going
How much longer must I keep going
Keep going
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Na-na-na
Oh-oh
