Quietly I watch your face for the first sign of doubt
And often times what’s on your mind never leaves your mouth
I know I wasn’t made for flying so I don’t even try
If leaving is the first sign of lying open up your eyes
Even if in the end we’re dying we still wanna say we tried
So I can feel alive

Here we are like we always are waiting for the ball to drop
In the corner larger than life is everything you say you’re not
I know I wasn’t made for flying so I don’t even try
If leaving is the first sign of lying open up your eyes
And even if in the end we’re dying we still wanna say we tried
So I can feel alive

Quietly

There’s no good answer here
When it’s a question you can’t bare
And I’ve searched everywhere just to find you
We can see the steam escaping to the trees
I wanna jump right in and find myself again

But Polar Bears are trying to drag me away from here
I just might let them so we both can win

I can’t see through this blur
For every twist and turn there’s a new thing that I learn
About you
My hands slide on this wheel steering how I feel
I wanna find a way to keep it pointed straight

But Polar Bears are trying to drag me away from here
I just might let them so we both can win

Ahh ahhh ahhh ahh ahh
Oooooh oooooh ooooooh

Polar Bears are trying to drag me away from here
I just might let them so we both can win

I see your confidence and I know you’re working so hard
Be sure to trust your instincts don’t be afraid of where you are
You know you’re holding you golden open heart

I couldn’t help myself when I heard your news it made me cry
I know it’s part of life but I can’t stand to see you say goodbye
I know you’re holding your golden broken heart

Bright lights will guide you home
Keep you safe when you’re feeling all alone
Lead you back to all you’ve ever knows
Bright lights will guide you home

Your jar is full of fireflies capture the spark behind their eyes
Drawn to your light from inside they know you are the truest kind
They know you’re holding your golden open
They know you’re holding your golden open heart
