You're almost there now, just a few more steps to go.

This Is It (Original Mix)

the next four minutes won't mean anything.
you can see behind so clearly.
if i set myself up for disaster, what would you expect?
we're all gonna die someday.
and nothing feels good when you're not on top of the world.
just let me take my things and go.

you're almost there now...
just a few more steps to go.
i can see the clouds now,
and this is it. you've got nothing left.
you can't take it with you now, but i wish you could.
just tell me what it's like up there now,
and send me a sign that you're good.

i need you to pull me out,
i need you to show me the way.
i've been digging this tunnel for so long, i forgot where it goes.
i'm gonna try and live today,
but nothing feels good when you're not taking a breath.
i think i know where to go.

you're almost there now....
just a few more steps to go.
i can see the clouds now,
and this is it. you've got nothing left.
you can't take it with you now, but i wish you could.
just tell me what it's like up there now,
and send me a sign that you're good.

take a step back, wash yourself away.
take one look back and you'll never face the day.

you're in the sky now, just a cloud away.
throw away your worries now, you don't feel pain.
i know you feel this debt bearing down on you.
i feel so free and clear, now that i know that i'm with you.


This Is It (Reprise)

i see myself as a reflection
of who i've been and who i'm gonna be.
now i can't change but i'll sink or swim
until the water takes me away

i'm not safe with my own thoughts
i can feel myself falling down the same stairs i walked up to get here.
and i'm fine with sleeping the day away

i'm lost again in this tale i weave
i'm shuddering in my dreams
as the crowd fades i fall away
and give you all you need to pull me down.

i've missed my chance a thousand times
i've missed my place, but i fall in line.
i'll find a way out, i won't be forgotten
the funny thing's is this: the joke's on me.

all i see, slipping back. 
is all my chains

i've got a thousand things to set me free.

This Is Who We Aren't

you pull the pin, and throw it back.
you've got everything you need.
so you've got a new friend.
change you for the better.
move to the next page.
fill her up and leave the ground.

you're led by an obsession.
do you feel better?
you can see this mistake coming

i should be more tact.
but i need you back.

rest now, you're so defeated
you can start this again
move your way and you'll find peace.
she's ripping you away

there's a hollow place
where you can't escape

you're led by an obsession.
do you feel better?
you can see this mistake coming

this is a note i write
this is the game i've learned to fight
i can barely stand on my feet
but i know she'll set you free.

i should be more tact,
but i need you back.
