I gave you a decade of my young adult life

Thankful that I’m wiser now

Should’ve seen it in the corporate carpet colors

the mold covered up by drop ceiling tiles

Power isn’t power when you have to talk about it

And powder on a mountain’s just cold dust

I’m still growing taller but walking heavy footed

The shame I used to feel is turning to rust

It was you I used to trust

It was you I used to trust

The parking lot was empty and the stars were barely shining

Whining cause they used to be seen

Slid the guitar case behind me

And drove toward the highway

Because the shame I used to feel wanted to rust

It was you I used to trust

It was you I used to trust

Broken and choking on the words you made me read

Knowing and hoping for the lie of the life you lead

But the shame I used to feel has turned to rust

The shame you made me feel has turned to rust

The shame I knew was real and now is dust

It was you I used to trust

It was you I used to trust

Feeling things the old way

Left the trunk open, just forgot to say

Bottomed out the fine line

Kept a jar around for the tears I’d cry

For the tears I’d cry

Baked another story

Bought a suit

Brought a tune that doesn't match the old me

Met under the powerlines

Drove in drunk

Just woken up

Waiting for the next time

Hoping theres no next time

Still working things out

Just gotta get through

Looking around but still no clue

I’ll try to fix it

At least whats left

Still working things out

Yeah I’m saying it again

Looking for the glory

Read a book

Took a look

those words just left me hurting

Telling people I’m fine

Lightning struck

Gave too much

Couldn’t tell if they lied

Pretty sure it was all lies

Still working things out

Just gotta get through

Looking around but still no clue

I’ll try to fix it

At least whats left

Still working things out

Yeah I’m saying it again

Ohhhh still working things out

Ohhhh still working things out

Ohhhhh

Ohhhhh

Working things out

Working things out

Working things out

Working things out

Couldn't see the sentiment

On my chest like wet cement

Gave you toast a driver test

Called it freedom hmm thats lament

You said what you meant

And you meant what you said

You said what you meant

And you meant what you

Credit cards are falling out

Look for blame while feeling doubt

Feel the coins slip away

Looking back was that ok

You said what you meant

And you meant what you said

You said what you meant

And you meant what you

I know where to go

Where to go

Where to go

Hope I’m not alone

Not alone

Not alone

Now I’ve got a home

no need to roam

no need to roam

I know where to go

Where to go

Where to go

Wore the clothes you liked on me

Pick the shoes to match the greed

A forest fire no room to breathe

You had the match I was the tree

But now I’m free

I know where to go

Where to go

Where to go

Hope I’m not alone

Not alone

Not alone

Now I’ve got a home

no need to roam

no need to roam

I know where to go

Where to go

Where to go

I know where to go

Where to go

Where to go

Hope I’m not alone

Not alone

Not alone

Now I’ve got a home

no need to roam

no need to roam

I know where to go

Where to go

Where to go

Found your lonesome warmth

Coming forth till it couldn’t quit

And I wish I had seen it sooner still

Pondering all the scenes

Once I finally stopped to breathe

Because the sun hasn’t rolled in yet this year

And yeah these are my happy tears

You said

Count the years

Even though they weren’t perfect

Fickle as trickling rain

Because time stands still

Whenever you are with me

And whenever you are with me

The hours fall

Slower

Like time is done

Our shadows kept on stretching

When the hourglass was resting

Those footprints faded in the sand

Like rings on a tree

Shoutin everything we’ve seen

For some time the doves quit landing here

And yeah these are my happy tears

You said

Count the years

Even though they weren’t perfect

Fickle as trickling rain

Because time stands still

Whenever you are with me

And whenever you are with me

The hours fall

Slower

Like time is done

Like time is done

Like time is done

Stalled out on the side of the road

Sprawled now with my feelings on this notepad

and its color is how I feel inside

Broke and nowhere to go now

Folks are moving into a townhome

Just to make sure they’re covered

Aren’t we all just trying to stay covered

The wind keeps whispering a mystery

Aren’t we all just trying

Aren’t we all just trying

Aren't we all

Aren't we all

Aren’t we all just trying

Aren’t we all just trying

Aren’t we all just trying

Aren't we all

Aren't we all

Aren’t we all just

The fence in our backyard is toast

Think the thing that I hate most

Is that somehow I care

Can’t we all just take sometime to not care

The wind keeps whispering a mystery

Aren’t we all just trying

Aren’t we all just trying

Aren't we all

Aren't we all

Aren’t we all just trying

Aren’t we all just trying

Aren’t we all just trying

Aren't we all

Aren't we all

Aren’t we all just

Aren’t we all just trying

Aren't we all

Aren't we all
