Lyrics:

No one wants to weigh things down
But they tend to fly away
And rescue teams will look for days

I like the way things are
I say, abandon the search
For an author of the small work

And until then
(Until then)
Until they've reason to think
I have a shot at redemption
(Until then)
I'm not talking

Yes, but remember this:
It's always been a long shot or worse
For an author of the small work

I don't mean to weigh things down
With fortune telling, let's just see
When it all comes true, we'll see

And until then
(Until then)
Until they've reason to think
I have a shot at redemption
(Until then)
I'm not talking

No, I've never been close
I thought you should know
No, I've never been close
I want you to know
No, I've never been close
I've never been close
(But I've never been far away)
No, I've never been close
I've never been close
(But I've never been far away)

I like the way things are
Time to abandon the search
For an author of the small work

And until then
(Until then)
Until they've reason to think
I have a shot at redemption
(Until then)
I'm not talking
