There for a Reason Songtext
von Driveways

Picture an imaginary line
Tracing the foundation of the
House you never built
Concealing insecurities with
Casual replies
Disregard the wreckage till it
Showers you in guilt
And breathe in the debris that you find

I can′t take time
If your hands stay tied
I can't take time
If your hands-


All I saw were street lights in the sky
Off of ninety-five
Hit the powerline
I don′t wanna die
My crimes rectified
Penance and contrite
Terrors in the night
Free the devil that's inside

I wasn't there for a reason
I wasn′t there for a reason
I didn′t fucking show up for a reason
I wasn't there for a reason

Picture an imaginary line
Crossing out the narrative you
Never even wrote
Blank obituaries weighing
Heavy on your mind
Malice that you buried deep
Inside of every quote
And burn inside the words that you write


You′re irresponsible (I can't)
You′re an obstacle (Take time)
I could have stopped you though (Your hands)
I was incautious (Stay tied)
And I was illogical (I can't)
Tell me not to go (Take time)
That was impossible (Your hands)
I was too hostile to you (Stay tied)

All I saw was street lights in the sky
Off of ninety-five
Hit the powerline
I don′t wanna die
My crimes rectified
Penance and contrite
Terrors in the night
Free the devil that's inside

I wasn't there for a reason
I wasn′t there for a reason
I didn′t fucking show up for a reason
I wasn't there for a reason

All I saw were street lights in the sky
Off of ninety-five
Hit the powerline
I don′t wanna die
My crimes rectified
Penance and contrite
Terrors in the night
Free the devil that's in-

I wasn′t there for a reason
I wasn't there for a reason
I didn′t fucking show up for a reason
I wasn't there for a reason

I can't take time
I can′t take time
If your hands stay tied
