[Jay]
How can I hold a mirror up to your eyes?
Speak the way you can understand what's inside?
You've been broken down in a thousand different ways
I've been looking over pictures and you hardly look the same
I can see it from a mile that the way you smile has changed
But you don't know

[Nathan]
It's hard for me to sit and watch you getting sick
When all I wanna do is try

[All]
Only you
Can dig yourself out just before you break down, yeah
Only you can lift yourself up just before you get stuck, yeah
All of this pain spread all over your face
All I wanna do is help you out of this place
Only you
So hurry up now just before you run out of time
[Max]
Before you run out of time

[Siva]
Beautiful that's the only way I see you
Nobody else can love you in the way that I do
Sometimes I get worried that you're taking on too much
And this crazy world where we live in doesn't really give a fuck
If only we could paddle to a place when it was just you and I

[Tom]
It's hard for me to sit and watch you getting sick
When all I wanna do is try

[All]
Only you
Can dig yourself out just before you break down, yeah
Only you can lift yourself up just before you get stuck, yeah
All of this pain spread all over your face
All I wanna do is help you out of this place
Only you
So hurry up now just before you run out of time
[Jay]
Before you run out of time
You can run out of time

[All (Jay)]

Only you
Can dig yourself out just before you break down, yeah
Only you can lift yourself up just before you get stuck, yeah

[All]
Only you
Can dig yourself out just before you break down, yeah
Only you can lift yourself up just before you get stuck, yeah
All of this pain spread all over your face
All I wanna do is help you out of this place
