Old man on his way back home
Late from work today
Far out on a dirt road
And couldn't find his way
With tears in his eyes, he knew
There was no one in sight
And tried to tell himself
That it'll be alright
Why's it always darkest
Right before the dawn?
If liars can be honest
And right can be wrong
And when you find the doorway
Are you in or you out?
You have to stand up
Before you fall down
You need to get lost
Before you get found
Young girl with a broken heart
Walking home alone
Teardrops made of Maybelline
On a goodbye note
And ooking down at the shadows on the ground
She almost didn't see
A blue-eyed man with a flower in his hand
Walking right out of her dreams
And she said
Why's it always darkest
Right before the dawn?
If liars can be honest
And right can be wrong
And when you find the doorway
Are you in or you out?
You have to stand up
Before you fall down
You need to get lost
Before you get found
We're never gonna know it all
Like houses, we will fall
And break in stormy weather
And be put back together better
We're never gonna know the way
Never know which words to say
And don't you worry
It'll be okay
Why's it always storming
Right before the calm?
Why are we so lonely
Before it's said and done?
Why's it always darkest
Right before the dawn?
If liars can be honest
And right can be wrong
And when you find the doorway
Are you in or you out?
You have to stand up
Before you fall down
You need to get lost
Before you
Get found
