lyrics

I only put the bottle down once it was empty.
I only quit the rocks when I’d climbed them all.
I'd only realized when I stood on that final peak,
there was nothing I could do but fall.

I only told a lie when the truth stung too much.
I only told the truth when it made me smile.
I only saw my reflection when the water settled down -
I understood I saw myself, but it took a while.

Serenity, take hold of me.
Infinity, be kind.
Now that we're a story signed and sealed,
serenity be mine.

I only wrote the sequel when I was out of ideas.
I only covered songs when I hated mine.
I only knew I wanted love when you had no more to give,
once I had run out of time.

I only wrote a letter when my pens had all run dry.
I only stole when I was too hungry to work.
I only had one life and I let it pass me by.
Hindsight is clear, but foresight has its perks.

Serenity, take hold of me.
Infinity, be kind.
Now that we're a story signed and sealed,
serenity be mine.
