At the end of the book I shut the pages and closed my eyes
I’d heard it said so, so many times
Let it go, move on with your life
But the story was so great, every second and every page,
So when the end came I feared, for I knew I was dangerously trained
To latch onto memories I made
So maybe this time, maybe this very first time
I can hold the final page in my hand and smile
Maybe this time, I pray, maybe this very first time
I can hold the finished book in my hand
And I’ll finally understand
Finally understand
REFRAIN:
I was just addicted
To rolling in the thinkless fire
Addicted
A habit I learned every day of my life
Addicted
This nonfiction was addiction
Lost in the library of my mind
No, this time I’ll be an addiction fighter
I am an addiction fighter
Usually my memory’s weak, but these details, oh they stuck with me
Music you protected me against the cynical realities
And that’s still a life I choose to lead
So when my mind goes, to this high, this place only love knows
My addiction’s shown so strong for I refuse to give up on unknown
Athletic trained never let go
And maybe this time, maybe this very first time
I can hold the final page in my hand and smile
And Maybe this time, I pray, maybe this very first time
I can hold the finished book in my hand
And I’ll finally understand
Finally understand
REFRAIN:
I was just addicted
To rolling in the thinkless fire
Addicted
A habit I learned every day of my life
Addicted
This nonfiction was addiction
Lost in the library of my mind
No, this time I’ll be an addiction fighter
I am an addiction fighter
This is the most powerful thing I’ve ever known
I’d be a fool to let it go, completely go
Carnegie shelves, shield me from the afterglow
Oh I know
REFRAIN:
I was just addicted
To rolling in the thinkless fire
Addicted
A habit I learned every day of my life
Addicted
This nonfiction was addiction
Lost in the library of my mind
No, this time I’ll be an addiction fighter
I am an addiction fighter
