[Verse 1]
Did you think it would be like this?
When the others left and the colors left
And the nights got colder and longer
Did you think you’d still be trying
When there’s nothing left to win?

[Pre-Chorus]
The time just gets away from you
Like some cruel little trick

[Chorus]
But my back is breaking
I’m still on my knees
I don’t need a reason
Just give me the keys

My back is breaking
I’m still on my knees
I don’t need a reason
Just give me the keys

[Verse 2]
It’s a shame that it never changed
All the blood and sweat just to pay the rent
And it’s like they built the whole world
Just to hold you down
And it’s such a fucking tragedy
That we made it this far
Just to watch it fall apart

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can’t turn back now
I’m too far down the road

[Chorus]
But my back is breaking
I’m still on my knees
I don’t need a reason
Just give me the keys

My back is breaking
I’m still on my knees
I don’t need a reason
Just give me the keys

[Bridge]
No light in the distance
No hand on the wheel
No lesson worth learning
No wound left to heal

Only miles of wreckage
Only rust in the teeth
Only one door left now
So put it in reach

[Final Chorus]
Yeah my back is breaking
I’m still on my knees
I don’t need a reason
Just give me the keys

My back is breaking
I’m still on my knees
I don’t need permission
Just give me the keys

My back is breaking
I’m still on my knees
I don’t need a reason
Just give me the keys

[Outro]
Too far down the road
Too far down the road
So just give me the keys
