Reaching Out Lyrics

[Chorus]
I know it can get easier, dealing with the pain
Watching through the window as the light begins to fade
Reaching out to someone to take it all away
I know it can get easier
Just wish it was today

[Verse 1]
I see you lost in the darkness, your bodies breaking down
So afraid and tormented
Letting sorrow wear the crown

[Pre-Chorus]
Another sad affair, a martyr left stranded
Sulfur in the air, fighting short-handed
Don't let the shadow take the light

[Chorus]
I know it can get easier, dealing with the pain
Watching through the window as the light begins to fade
Reaching out to someone to take it all away
I know it can get easier
Just wish it was today

[Verse 2]
Left to live in a shell, so hollow
Fighting with the grief, the bitter sting of rejection
Forsaken, a detriment to the healing
[Pre-Chorus]
Another sad affair, a martyr left stranded
Sulfur in the air, fighting short-handed
Don't let the shadow take the light

[Chorus]
I know it can get easier, dealing with the pain
Watching through the window as the light begins to fade
Reaching out to someone to take it all away
I know it can get easier
Just wish it was today
Today, today, today

[Bridge]
I swear I'll pick you up, up off the ground
I swear I'll pull you out when you start to drown
If I could make you numb to this heartache
I would take it away

[Breakdown]

[Chorus]
I know it can get easier, dealing with the pain
Watching through the window as the light begins to fade
Reaching out to someone to take it all away
I know it can get easier
Just wish it was today

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

From the Kerrang interview with Ryan Kirby:
“This song was written by our singer/bassist Tuck, so I’ll give you a little quote from him on it: ‘Before going into the studio we knew we wanted to write an album centered around Kirby. He had experienced some unique trials and tribulations that the rest of us simply didn’t. One of those was adopting his niece and nephew. I wrote the chorus as a tribute to the kids. Something just trying to say that we see them and want them to win. I can’t place myself in their pain but we can listen.’”
