Tonight

(album: Exodus - 2003)

I want to walk down 3rd street slow
Drive up and down the coast
Watching the sunset hang
While God puts on his show
I want a life outside my own
A stranger that everybody knows
I want to kill the ghost that haunts me as I grow

But today and every single day
Just covers up my face
The earth is dark but
I can see the sky

[Chorus]
Tonight I'll leave myself behind
And run into the light
I am broken
But that's just your type

I want to trade this tongue for ears
Make failure disappear
I want the confidence that doesn't lean on cheers
I want to plant the golden seed
Beside a sparkling sea
Working my way up high in a deeply rooted tree

But today and every single day
Just cripples both my legs
The hands don't work
But yours will do just fine

[Chorus]
But tonight I'll leave myself behind
And run into the light
I am broken
But that's just your type

Shine your light
Let me see tonight
Shine your light
Put your heart in mine
Cut the cord from this empty life
Cut the cord leave it all behind [2x]

[Chorus]
But tonight
I'll leave myself behind
I am broken but that's just your type
