lyrics

We're living in a brand new world
Touch is no longer an option
When we had it, we neglected it
And without it, we crave it

Even when I get worse
They say put your joy first
How beautifully bizarre and true
When all of my joy was you

I'd give anything to have it again
But I'm not giving my life for it
I wish I felt your joy again
But I'm not willing to die for it

How can we not?
We're a craving culture
Doesn't matter what — sex, money, drugs
What do you have to offer?

Joy was my wrong of choice
Would have given up my voice
To bring a smile to my guy
We were riding so high

I'd give anything to have it again
But I'm not giving my life for it
I wish I felt your joy again
But I'm not willing to die for it

I'd give anything to have it again
But I'm not giving my life for it
I wish I felt your joy again
But I'm not willing to die for it

Wish I could give you my life for it
Wish I could give you my life for it
Wish I could give you my life for it

Wish I could give you my life for it
Wish I could give you my life for it
Wish I could give you my life for it

We're living in a brand new world
Touch is no longer an option
When we had it, we neglected it
And without it, we crave it

Even when I get worse
They say put your joy first
How beautifully bizarre and true
When all of my joy was you
