The Teacher

(album: But Here We Are - 2023)

Who's at the door now?
Who's at the door now?

Sun goes down, windows wide
One step closer to the other side
I can feel what others do
Can't stop this if I wanted to

Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
Where will I wake up?
Where will I wake up?

Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
Where will I wake up?
Where will I wake up?

Hurry now boy, time won't wait
The here and the now will separate
There are some things you cannot choose
Soul and spirit moving through

Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
Where will I wake up?
Where will I wake up?

Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
Where will I wake up?
Where will I wake up?

Who's at the door now?
Who's at the door now?
(Wake up)
Who's at the door now?
(Wake up)
(Wake up)
(Wake up)
(Wake up)
(Wake up)
(Wake up)
(Wake up)
(Wake up)

Two cold stones on a riverbed
Ripped and torn, cannot mend
Old white candles on a dusty porch
One flame down, another born

Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
Where will I wake up?
Where will I wake up?

Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
Where will I wake up?
Where will I wake up?

Who's at the door now?
Who's at the door now?

You showed me how to breathe, but never showed me how to say goodbye
You showed me how to be, but never showed me how to say goodbye
Every page turns, it's a lesson learned in time
You showed me how to breathe, but never showed me how to say goodbye

Try and make good with the air that's left
Counting every minute
Living breath by breath
By breath by breath by breath by breath by breath

Try and make good with the air that's left
Counting every minute
Living breath by breath
By breath by breath by breath by breath by breath

You showed me how to need, but never showed me how to say goodbye
You showed me how to grieve, but never showed me how to say goodbye
Every page turns, it's a lesson learned in time
You showed me how to need, but never showed me how to say goodbye

Try and make good with the air that's left
Counting every minute
Living breath by breath
By breath by breath by breath by breath by breath

Try and make good with the air that's left
Counting every minute
Living breath by breath
By breath by breath by breath by breath by breath

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
