It's everything you wanted

It's everything you don't

It's one door swinging open

And one door swinging closed

Some prayers find an answer

Some prayers never know

We're holding on and letting go

Sometimes we're holding angels

And we never even know

Don't know if we'll make it

But we know, we just can't let it show
