The coffee's bitter but the morning's gold My pockets empty but my heart is bold The landlord's calling with a heavy tone But I'm dancing in the rhythm of the unknown It's a jagged road with a velvet view I'm bleeding colors in a shade of blue Gravity pulls but I'm learning to sway Turning the shadows into light of day Oh, the hards and the goods, they roll in a tide With nothing to lose and a wild world wide We’re building a temple from the dust and the glass Kissing the future as the dark moments pass It’s the sting and the sugar, the salt and the sweet Life is a fire living under our feet Bought an old map that led to nowhere fast Left the ghosts of the failures in a broken past Some days are nails in a hardwood floor Some days are keys to a wide-open door My bank account’s a ghost, my spirit’s a king I’m learning to fly while the sirens sing Every scar is a map of the places I've been Every win is a story to tell to the wind Keep it coming, the ugly and grand I’m holding the luck in the palm of my hand Oh, the hards and the goods, they roll in a tide With nothing to lose and a wild world wide We’re building a temple from the dust and the glass Kissing the future as the dark moments pass It’s the sting and the sugar, the salt and the sweet Life is a fire living under our feet Yeah, the hards and the goods Just part of the woods Walking through Me and you (Living under our feet)
