This Is Your Life Distractions lyrics

I've wasted time, and countless nights figuring out what's going through my mind, these days
I'll tell you why I feel this way, to lay it out, life is pain, we're living in distraction from the truth

Like endless summer nights, just like a coastline drive, what was once gold turns to grey
The perfect memory, your most cherished dream, you're living life in fantasy
And that's the problem

When the weight of the world comes crashing down, I won't be there

When you reach for a helping hand, I can't be there, I can't be there, anymore

Sometimes what's inside, we cannot define, with simple reasoning, when hearts are burning
When I'm feeling low, I take the long way home, to hear that song
