Maybe You Could Be the One Songtext
von 30footFALL

Somewhere in between hoping that you′d live forever
And never believing that you'd ever last this long
Desperation passed you by without an explanation
Now you′re just killing time
Having outlived expiration

But maybe you could be the one
To show them how to stand
And grab ahold of something
When no one's offering a hand

Maybe you could be the one
Like the one I never had
To point in some direction
A bridge across the disconnection
Out of a bitter disaffection
To lean into the pain

Maybe you could be the one to tell them it's alright
Let them know that life goes on
Let them know they can survive


Were they all just dreams deferred?
There was some idea of a plan
But now there′s just this sense of
Waiting to do something with my hands
Used to hold a pen to paper
The blueprint for our days
I′ve still got miles to write
My tired heart still wants to say

Maybe you could be the one
To show them how to stand
And grab ahold of something
When no one's offering a hand

Maybe you could be the one
In solidarity
And maybe who you are
Is all you have to be

To turn darkness to reflection
With all you have discerned
With fearless introspection
Learn what to unlearn

Maybe you could be the one to tell them it′s alright
Let them know that life goes on
I can show them how to fight


But if I die too soon
Please remember me
On a summer's day shredding blocks at EZ-7
And if I die too soon
Please remember me
On a stage with all my friends
Everything cranked to eleven

And if I die too soon
Please remember me
And my optimism
In spite of everything

And when I die someday
Please remember me
With my arms around you
With my arms around you

Please remember me
With my arms around you
With my arms around you

Please remember me
With my arms around you
With my arms around you

When I die someday
Please remember me
With my arms around you
With my arms around you

When I die someday
Please remember me
With my arms around you
With my arms around you
