On Our Own Lyrics by Egyptian

Demo

2011

[Verse 1: Aja Volkman]
Hold on to what we feel
Don't cheapen those nights 'cause it hurts my ego
And everything else, it can be arranged
To fit the idea that life is changing
Take it all back 'cause you love your sister
And you know that we're all the same
One day your mother was a young man's lover
And she never should've felt that pain

[Chorus: Aja Volkman & Dan Reynolds]
Ticket to love, we've got a long road home
I've started thinkin' that we've got it all wrong
I can't live like, I can't live like this
I can't live like, I can't live
'Cause this is all we know
We can make it on our own
And so we hold tight to what we know
We've got a long night ahead and a long road home

[Verse 2: Aja Volkman]
Hold back from what we feel
'Cause we're really not sure which part is real
And I know the river runs deep
But I can't tell just how many feet
And take it all back if you know you want me
You should hit your knees and pray
'Cause I don't wanna be another man's lover
And I don't wanna feel this pain

[Chorus: Aja Volkman & Dan Reynolds]
Ticket to love, we've got a long road home
I've started thinkin' that we've got it all wrong
I can't live like, I can't live like this
I can't live like, I can't live
'Cause this is all we know
We can make it on our own
And so we hold tight to what we know
We've got a long night ahead and a long road home

[Bridge: Dan Reynolds]
Round and round it goes, there's no tellin'
When the sea will make a rose
It's just a matter of time
And we'll wait 'til the end of the year
Just to plan ahead and avoid the tears that
Fall and fall and wield to the ground
And you can start to till, 'til you have found
That our seed has grown and this we’ll know
We did it all, we did it on our own

[Chorus: Aja Volkman & Dan Reynolds]
Ticket to love, we've got a long road home
I've started thinkin' that we've got it all wrong
I can't live like, I can't live like this
I can't live like, I can't live
'Cause this is all we know
We can make it on our own
And so we hold tight to what we know
We've got a long night ahead and a long road home
