Gray skies
and dark days
Hold tight
It's okay if you're feeling out of place
Growing up in a small house
I remember when the lights went out
Sending whispers across the room
Keeping secrets safe in the light of the moon
Waking up in a large life
More hours and space than a body could
use It's a long walk from yesterday
Turning out the lights just to spend a second with you
You saw coming back to me
Shouting west from the balcony
Charging into the blind faith and the heartache
You're never gonna stop what you started
Coming back to me Like a long lost melody
Growing up in the heartland Trying to change it
Knowing someday that you're gonna make it Oh,
mercy, mercy
Oh,
shine a light on me
Forgiveness if I ever failed you If I
ever let my pride get in the way of the
truth I can still see us running in circles
No one who could stop us You said there's nothing we can't do
But we failed so many times Our young
teenage bodies all rattled and blue
It's a long walk from yesterday Turning
out the lights just to spend a second
Just to spend a minute with you
You saw coming back to me
Shouting west from the balcony Charging
into the blind faith and the heartache
You're never gonna stop what you started
Coming back to me Like a long lost melody
Growing up in the heartland Trying to change it
Knowing someday that you're gonna make it
Coming back to me
Shouting west from the balcony
Charging into the blind faith and the heartache
You're never gonna stop what you started
Coming back to me Like a long lost melody
Growing up in the heartland Trying to change it
Knowing someday that you're gonna make it
Oh,
mercy, mercy Oh,
shine a light on me
