Casting Lines Lyrics

You learn to run you learn to race through life, its unforgiving pace
The lines we're tracing to the truth and stepping over endless cracks
I navigate these crooked paths but all my roads lead back to you

And who are we to argue fate and who is time to make us wait
I'm standing here with nothing left to prove

And we're still coming home a thread through the unknown
Yea, all the lines we cast into forever got tangled like some wreckage in the road
A road we walked alone but all the time has passed on us together
And all the lines we cast will bring us home
It's a long way but I'm coming home

All the time I kept the score I never grasped what love was for
You, you always gave me what I need to know
It' true and still I strive to break the bonds and raise the sky
You tear the soil from the sea

But who am I to argue fate and who are you to walk away
I'm standing here with nothing left to prove

And we're still coming home a thread through the unknown
All the lines we cast into forever got tangled like some wreckage in the road
A road we walked alone but all the time has passed on us together
And all the lines we cast will bring us home
It's a long way but I'm coming home to you

Who are we to argue fate and who am I to think this way
I'm standing here with nothing left to lose

And we're still coming home a thread through the unknown
Yea, all the lines we cast into forever will come back when the weather hits the road
A road we walked alone but all the time has passed on us together
And all the lines we cast will bring us home It's a long way but I'm coming home

You learn to run you learn to race through life, its unforgiving pace
The lines we're tracing to the truth

You learn to run you learn to race through life, its unforgiving pace 
The lines we're tracing to the truth and stepping over endless cracks
I navigate these crooked paths but all my roads lead back to you

And who are we to argue fate and who is time to make us wait
I'm standing here with nothing left to prove

And we're still coming home a thread through the unknown 
Yea, all the lines we cast into forever got tangled like some wreckage in the road
A road we walked alone but all the time has passed on us together 
And all the lines we cast will bring us home 
It's a long way but I'm coming home

All the time I kept the score I never grasped what love was for 
You, you always gave me what I need to know 
It' true and still I strive to break the bonds and raise the sky 
You tear the soil from the sea

But who am I to argue fate and who are you to walk away 
I'm standing here with nothing left to prove

And we're still coming home a thread through the unknown 
All  the lines we cast into forever got tangled like some wreckage in the road
A road we walked alone but all the time has passed on us together 
And all the lines we cast will bring us home 
It's a long way but I'm coming home to you

Who are we to argue fate and who am I to think this way
 I'm standing here with nothing left to lose

And we're still coming home a thread through the unknown 
Yea, all the lines we cast into forever will come back when the weather hits the road
A road we walked alone but all the time has passed on us together 
And all the lines we cast will bring us home It's a long way but I'm coming home

You learn to run you learn to race through life, its unforgiving pace 
The lines we're tracing to the truth

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

You learn to run, you learn to race, Through life, this unforgiving pace, These lines are tracing to the truth. And stepping over endless cracks, I navigate these crooked paths, But all my roads lead back to you.

And who are we to argue fate and, Who is time to make us wait, I'm standing here with nothing left to prove, And we're still coming home.

A thread through the unknown, Yeah, all the lines we cast in to forever, git tangled like some wreckage in the road. A road we walked alone, But all the time that's passed on us together, And all the lines we cast will bring us home. It's a long way but I'm coming home.

All this time I kept the score, I never grasped what love is for, You, you always gave me what I need. To know it's true and still ask why, To break the bonds and raise the sky, You tear the soil from the sea.

But who am I to argue fate and, Who are you to walk away? I'm standing here with nothing left to prove, And were still coming home.

A thread through the unknown, And all the lines we cast in to forever, Are tangled like some wreckage in the road. A road we walked alone, But all the time that's passed on us together, And all the lines we cast will bring us home. It's a long way but im coming home to you.

And who are we to argue fate and, Who am i to think this way? I'm standing here with nothing left to lose, and were still coming home.

A thread through the unknown, And all the lines we cast in to forever, Will come back when the weather hits the road. A road we walked along, And all the time thats passed on us together, And all the lines we cast will bring us home. It's a long way but I'm coming home.

You learn to run, you learn to race Through life, this unforgiving pace, These lines are tracing to the truth.

Lyric Correction

You learn to run, you learn to race,
Through life, this unforgiving pace,
These lines are tracing to the truth.
And stepping over endless cracks,
I navigate these crooked paths,
But all my roads lead back to you.

And who are we to argue fate and,
Who is time to make us wait,
I'm standing here with nothing left to prove,
And we're still coming home.

A thread through the unknown,
Yeah, all the lines we cast in to forever,
git tangled like some wreckage in the road.
A road we walked alone,
But all the time that's passed on us together,
And all the lines we cast will bring us home.
It's a long way but I'm coming home.

All this time I kept the score,
I never grasped what love is for,
You, you always gave me what I need.
To know it's true and still ask why,
To break the bonds and raise the sky,
You tear the soil from the sea.

But who am I to argue fate and,
Who are you to walk away?
I'm standing here with nothing left to prove,
And were still coming home.

A thread through the unknown,
And all the lines we cast in to forever,
Are tangled like some wreckage in the road.
A road we walked alone,
But all the time that's passed on us together,
And all the lines we cast will bring us home.
It's a long way but im coming home to you.

And who are we to argue fate and,
Who am i to think this way?
I'm standing here with nothing left to lose,
and were still coming home.

A thread through the unknown,
And all the lines we cast in to forever,
Will come back when the weather hits the road.
A road we walked along,
And all the time thats passed on us together,
And all the lines we cast will bring us home.
It's a long way but I'm coming home.

You learn to run, you learn to race
Through life, this unforgiving pace,
These lines are tracing to the truth.
