Johnny Winik - Monsters

We would make up games when we were kids
Running from the monsters in our heads
And though it seemed real then
We'd always find comfort in pretend
But now it's here
And now it's gone
And now I can't see behind me
The games we played
The rules have changed
And now I can't see the boundary
17 dragging out
All the times you thought you were in love
And though it felt real then
You didn't have the heart to see it was pretend
But now it's here
And now it's gone
And now I can't see behind me
The games we played
The rules have changed
And now I can't see the boundary
I can feel it now
I'm not afraid of the wire
And if I walk it now
Will it ever end
Now we've built up walls in our heads
Running from the monsters in what we've said
There's never time to comprehend
But leave a moment now and then to make amends
Yeah now you're here
And now you're gone
You never could see behind me
The games we played
The rules have changed
Yeah now you can't see the boundary
I can feel it now
I'm not afraid of the wire
And if I walk it now
Fingers crossed I'll make it home
I can feel it now
The way we look at each other
We may be here today
But that's no promise for tomorrow
I'm thinking now
I'll never know what's real
I wish I could tell my mind how to feel
Cause it never stops
I can feel it now
I'm not afraid of the wire
And if I walk it now
Will it ever end
I can feel it now
The way we look at each other
We'll be here today
And that's a promise for tomorrow
We'll make up games for all the kids
We're gonna beat all the monsters in our heads
