lyrics

It never was for anyone
To understand what happened
We were so young and desperate
We never saw how we'd end
It don't matter what was for the best
If it led up to nothing
Now we died young and reckless
Because we wanted it all

We let it go to waste
Without a second thought
Now we're left with emptiness
So let's jump to the back of the sack
Hoping to let life cool down
Never mind that time's confined
With a bitter sense of pride
Is it too late to try?

Too late to try

Dear Eleanor
Will we prevail
With our memories intact?
Or suffer dissonant thoughts?
We'll right the wrongs
Of our mistakes
If we fail, please let us
Try again, so we can pass

So let's just look within ourselves
Maybe we can change how we act
I hope that we can change
So we can get enough points
To get to The Good Place
If we try to change our outlook
Maybe we can help others too
And that can change the world
So we will have enough points
To get in The Good Place

Change is hard if you don't try
But it does not hurt to try
If you fail, just get on up

Who knows when we die
If we leave justified?
Will there be peace in the end?
When we're deceased
Who will attend?
If you aren't improved
How can you be approved?
How can you lie? It's unfit
Now you will lie, you'll be omit

All we can do is try our best
If we try to change and do good
Maybe others will change with us
I hope we can find light not dark
So we'll find ourselves in the light

How can we pass the test
When we don't care?
Our lives will fade away
No one will care
If we lived our lives (For what I have done)
Filled with bad intentions (And for what I have failed to do)
We will die with regrets (I'm sorry)
