[Verse 1]
Along this very path we walked
A bird flies over
He can’t look down
He’ll see the mess we made
If I’m given some silence
I’d listen for your call
Out to the breeze
But I hardly listen at all
[Chorus]
Walk along and find a person who would give the world to you
I can’t give that to you
Hasn’t it all mulled over
You couldn’t love a single soul you never knew
[Verse 2]
There’s a lady painted green
Top to toe wearing a sundress
Not a care in the world
She’s got it all figured out
[Chorus]
Take a lap and find some solace
Knowing nothing stands in front of you
It’s only you
Find a better reason why
You held your fingers in your hands between the time
[Tag]
I’m a rock that’s sunken deeper down
Into the ocean floor
I’ve seen it inside out
But I don’t have it figured out

Say goodbye
In a simple song
You play tonight
It’s alright
Leave your thoughts behind
Let her wonder how you
Sing the song so in tune
But keep her secrets buried
Like you have before
Lay it at the door
I see it all too clear
You’re finding ways to make it feel real
Let the silence heal
Give it time to settle into your
Heart skin and soul
Walk away but remain in control
As you go
Bring the feelings home
[Instrumental]
Oh, I see it all too clear
You’re finding ways to make it feel real
Let the silence heal
Give it time to settle into your
Heart skin and soul
Walk away but remain in control
As you go
Bring the feelings home

[Verse 1]
I woke up with that look in my eyes
You know the one you complain about
What’s left is in that old suitcase
But now I’m never who I want to be
[Chorus]
Just one step closer to me
One step closer
[Verse 2]
I woke up with a pain in my back
Maybe from all that talk
And now I can’t walk the same (yeah)
But is it too late to fix it now?
[Bridge]
Just one step closer to me
[Chorus]
Just one step closer to me
Just one step closer

[Verse 1]
Give it just a minute
Walk around the bend of a corner store
Wrap your head around it
Looking through a window or an open door
[Chorus]
I’ve seen this all before
This old ceiling, broken floors
I see it all again
The stop signs and the corner store
Ah
[Verse 2]
Trace along the edges
Read between the lines of a magazine
Hold an empty moment
Cradle every minute in your open palm
[Chorus]
I’ve seen this all before
Signs of aging, nothing more
I see it all again
The stop signs and the corner store
Ah
[Bridge]
I’ve seen the world in a different way now
It’s so unused yet so beaten up and torn down
(x3)
I’ll always stay in an endless cycle
But I’m okay with that
