It's For the Best by Straylight Run

Lyrics:

it takes more time than I've ever had

drains the life from me

makes me want to forget

as young as I was

I felt older back then

more disciplined, stronger and certain

but I was scared to death of eternity

I was saved by grace but destroyed by naivety

and I lied to myself

and said it was for the best

and now faith is replaced with a logic so cold

I've disregarded what I was

now that I'm older

and I know much more than I did back then

but the more I learn

the more I can't understand

and I've become content with this life that I lead

where I drink to much and don't believe in much of anything

and I lie to myself

and say it's for the best

we're moving forward

but holding ourselves back

and we're waiting on something that will never come

Now I found why I think this is the perfect song! Nate Ruess singing B/G with Nolan! Never thought my favorite song could get better, it just did!

"We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back, and we're waiting on something that will never come" - beautiful and haunting me for years

That's the curse of being ahead of your time. But maybe they will resurface in a fashion similar to Weezer when Nada Surf fans dug em up in during one of there reclusive gaps.

Maybe it could've done better with a more interesting backing track, the lyrics deserve more. But I do like it :3
