When all you gotta keep is strong...

Mow the lawn
Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone sins
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn just to make it through
Mow the lawn
Mow the lawn

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong we mow the lawn
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we mow the lawn
the lawn, the lawn, the lawn

When all you got to keep is strong
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Mow the lawn, mow the lawn just to make it through
[x3]

(Mow the lawn)
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We mow the lawn
