Rush Street

I've been searching, not the first or the last 
Trying to figure out the mystery of the half empty glass 
Time is turning for the rest of the world 
While a temporary leap of faith helps the story unfurl 


They say that hearts don't stay broken 
Even though the scars remain 
And eyes don't stay swollen 
Even if it feels that way 


But it's not that serious 
I'm a big boy now 
And I'm not delirious 
So don't show me how 
Cause I've gotten beyond the agony 
And my perspective is saving me 


Never doubted what the cards would reveal 
And if the joker showed his ugly face 
Not that big of a deal 
It's just a moment in the scheme of it all 
But it's difficult to visualize when the axe starts to fall 


But then a heart won't stay broken 
Even on its darkest day 
The right door could open 
Pick you up and drift away 


But it's not that serious 
I'm a big boy now 
And I'm not delirious 
So don't show me how 
Cause I've gotten beyond the agony 
And my perspective is saving me 


With all the confusion 
How does anybody come through 
But life is illusion 
And no one can tell you what you've gotta do 


You know a heart won't stay broken 
Even on its darkest day 
The right door could open 
Pick you up and drift away
