lyrics

Please forgive this mess I’m making
For giving up without explaining
Spinning wheels and complicating
I’m not good at happy endings
Keeping up with this pretending
Taking all the vibes you’re sending
Keeping my mouth shut

The birds are on the water, slowly taking off
I feel this perfect moment as the water hits the rocks

What you asked of me was easy
Baby honestly it freed me
You don’t have to believe me, you’re the only one who sees me
I’m halfway from home now
Thought being alone would help
Thought the open road would lead me
To understand the way I felt

Keep one eye on the mirror and one eye on the miles
Drive til things get clearer, it was easy for a little while

I’m not gonna change
The answer to a question born in vein
So hard to feel ashamed
When I’m running through the fire
Playing with the flames

The northern lights made three thousand miles worth while
I turn the headlights off and stop, close to god can feel him
Walk beside me take my hand

Force the distance
It’ll make you miss this eventually
Falling down and reaching out
Somebody carry me

I’m not gonna change
The answer to a question born in vein
So hard to feel ashamed
When I’m running through the fire
Playing with the flames

You’ll wait , you’ll wait
For my hand
Watch the game where one mistake can change
Everything we had
I don’t know why going away seemed my only chance
It’s one more night in room 209 slipping through my hands
One more night room 209
Slipping through my hands
