Whole World Got in the Way

[short piano intro] [verse] I don’t need to Fall in love again I still love you I need to know you love me back If there were just a way To begin again Reverse the hurt Get the train back on the right track The love we nurtured Seeds planted then Bloomed big but Stretched thin to build this happy home When you multiply Sometimes you divide Leaving a vast chasm Too grand to traverse alone [pre-chorus] How did we get The big things right Then spend so many hours Sweating small stuff Can we forgo regret Reclaim the night Regain the power When our hearts were soft to the touch [chorus] Release the hold on our souls Rekindle the flame Rewind the callused hands of time Before the whole world got in the way It’s in our control If we unchain the blame Spring forward Before we fall further behind Since the whole world got in the way [verse 2] I will admit It’s my tendency To disconnect When conflicts arise I will submit What you expect of me Often falls short Not unfairly, in your eyes I will commit To fixing inconsistencies Is there room in Your heart for compromise? I won’t quit I’ll summon the energy Our song is not sung Until we rewrite the reprise [pre-chorus] How did we get The big things right Then spend so many hours Sweating small stuff Can we forgo regret Reclaim the night Regain the power When our hearts were soft to the touch [chorus] Release the hold on our souls Rekindle the flame Rewind the callused hands of time Before the whole world got in the way It’s in both our controls If we unchain the blame Spring forward Before we fall further behind Since the whole world got in the way [bridge] I imagine us As cast aways On separate islands Isolated by waves I float you this bottle With a message, tear-stained A white flag and a plea That our love can be saved [chorus] Release the hold on our souls Rekindle the flame Rewind the callused hands of time Before the whole world got in the way It’s in both our controls If we unchain the blame Spring forward Before we fall further behind Since the whole world got in the way Since the whole world got in the way Since the whole world got in the way So many I things are hard for me to say Since the whole world got in the way [short piano solo] [end] [pre-chorus] How did we get The big things right Then spend so many hours Sweating small stuff Can we forgo regret Reclaim the night Regain the power When our hearts were soft to the touch [chorus] Release the hold on our souls Rekindle the flame Rewind the callused hands of time Before the whole world got in the way It’s in both our controls If we unchain the blame Spring forward Before we fall further behind Since the whole world got in the way Since the whole world got in the way [short piano solo] [bridge] I imagine us As cast aways On separate islands Isolated by waves I float you this bottle With a message, tear-stained A white flag and a plea That our love can be saved [chorus] Release the hold on our souls Rekindle the flame Rewind the callused hands of time Before the whole world got in the way It’s in both our controls If we unchain the blame Spring forward Before we fall further behind Since the whole world got in the way Since the whole world got in the way Since the whole world got in the way So many things are hard for me to say Since the whole world got in the way Since the whole world got in the way Since the whole world got in the way Since the whole world got in the way Since the whole world got in the way [short piano solo] [end] [reprise] Since the whole world got in the way Since the whole world got in the way Let's not let this slip away! Since the whole world got in the way [short piano solo] [end] [end]
