Pulse and Reason

Chorus

Still got a pulse and a reason to run

Watching for dawn while the shadows have won

You might fall flat in the middle of the street

Gotta keep pulling yourself back to your feet

Just try to breathe till the pressure gives way

Finding a crack where the light starts to stay

If it gets cold you just give what you got

Life is a war but it is all that we bought

Post-Chorus

Hey oh oh oh

Keep on holding

Hey oh oh oh

Keep on golden

Try again

Try again

Verse 1

Empty pockets and a rattling door

Tired of pacing across this wooden floor

No one tells you how the hunger starts

Watching the pieces of some broken parts

Better to swing and miss every time

Than to give up and start watching the climb

Chorus

Still got a pulse and a reason to run

Watching for dawn while the shadows have won

You might fall flat in the middle of the street

Gotta keep pulling yourself back to your feet

Just try to breathe till the pressure gives way

Finding a crack where the light starts to stay

If it gets cold you just give what you got

Life is a war but it is all that we bought

Post-Chorus

Hey oh oh oh

Keep on holding

Hey oh oh oh

Keep on golden

Try again

Try again

Verse 2

Knees are scraped and the spirit is thin

Waiting for something besides a quiet win

Offer a hand or a word to a ghost

Try to be more than just a tired host

World turns around while the sky turns to black

Put another step on that lonesome track

Chorus

Still got a pulse and a reason to run

Watching for dawn while the shadows have won

You might fall flat in the middle of the street

Gotta keep pulling yourself back to your feet

Just try to breathe till the pressure gives way

Finding a crack where the light starts to stay

If it gets cold you just give what you got

Life is a war but it is all that we bought

Post-Chorus

Hey oh oh oh

Keep on holding

Hey oh oh oh

Keep on golden

Try again

Try again

Chorus

Still got a pulse and a reason to run

Watching for dawn while the shadows have won

You might fall flat in the middle of the street

Gotta keep pulling yourself back to your feet

Just try to breathe till the pressure gives way

Finding a crack where the light starts to stay

If it gets cold you just give what you got

Life is a war but it is all that we bought
