The Follow Through

Blue October · Any Man in America [2011]

Pride

It leaves you hollow

Another attempt

Just to settle the score

A war, you know the one you built it up



It's real defining

Humiliation

Oh, it knocks at your door



You say I blow up

I say you cave in

We never found the line between

The real and pretend

You know you should accept it

This is really the end

I know for sure, it's what I have to do

Is follow through



You were everything I ever want to be

The only thing I ever needed no

I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep

And I'd sneak across the world to let her know



Yeah that's what I do

Yeah I follow through

Oh I follow through



And here I stand

I'm too close but still you're far away

You never tried but I did

And we still remain divided



Oh I can't believe that your heart's still beating

It's beating for me at all

How sad of you

But I'm not sad at all



You say I blow up

I say you cave in

We never found the line between

The real and pretend

You know you should accept it

This is really the end

I know for sure, it's what I have to do

Is follow through



And you were everything I ever want to be

The only one I ever need to know

I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep

And I'd sneak across the world to let her know



And as it falls down into night we run away

And once again divided

But each one knows just what we have to do

We do

We have to, follow through



I will lay down my heart

I will let you go

That's what's best for us all

[x2]



(Cause now we stand beneath the clouds and god above)

(Like we did before)

(But this time for her)

(I'll follow through)



You were everything I ever want to be

The only one I ever need to know

I'd wait for you till time lays down to sleep

And I'd sneak across the world to let her know



Hold my heart

Patiently

And take my hand

Yeah walk with me

Cause when the evening comes

We'll set the world on fire

And I was wrong

Let me help you live on



You were everything I ever want to be

The only one I ever need to know

I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep

And as it falls down into night we run away

But each one knows just what we have to do

We do

We have to, follow through



Hold my heart

Patiently

And take my hand

Yeah walk with me

Cause when the evening comes

We'll set the world on fire
