All I Ever Wanted Was A Chance To Know Myself

(album: Coming Home - 2022)

There's times of violence and there's times of war
I watch them rerun on TV
I want a life I can't afford in Soho
I'm done with sleeping
We can't define the world alive
It's over, it's almost over, yeah
And all I ever wanted was a chance to know myself

I need time to look past the view
I stay up with the fog til the feeling's closer
A little dream with a lot to prove
I wake up with my tongue unglued
With my tongue unglued
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
I show up for the night, feel like I'm still sober, yeah
Cause all I ever wanted was a chance to know myself

I throw my hands up in the air
I don't know what I've become
I got lost along the way
I'm way too tired to run
I'm fighting out here
I'm fighting out here for life
And I'm way too far to be going backwards now
I'm going backwards now

Design the silence like you did before
The sound will find a way to cut through
And find the voice you can't ignore
It's over, it's almost over

If you mess up the words
They'll come after you
It's the last dance to find the door
I wanna cut the verse
Lines in the afternoon
It's my last chance to follow through
I wanna follow through

I throw my hands up in the air
I don't know what I've become
I got lost along the way
I'm way too tired to run
I'm fighting out here
I'm fighting out here for life
And I'm way too far to be going backwards

But time rolls away
All the mess I've made
We've done terrible things
We've lived terrible ways
It all falls away
'Cause life is changing
I've done terrible things
I've done terrible things

I throw my hands up in the air
I don't know what I've become
I got lost along the way
I'm way too tired to run
I'm fighting out here
I'm fighting out here for life
And I'm way too far to be going backwards

I throw my hands up in the air
I don't know what I've become
I got lost along the way
I'm way too tired to run
I'm fighting out here
I'm fighting out here for life
And I'm way too far to be going backwards now
I'm going backwards now
