Lyrics

well i changed gears and directions when i ran out of luck
you don’t obsess with perfection when your road gets rough
no- you find something that’ll hold ya, if you’re searching hard enough
fill those cracks in with gold, and then you build it back up

you build it back up…

and so i’ll sit at these keys until my coffee’s gone cold
for the vocal releases of all these tensions that i hold
i’m writing unaddressed letters- my story still untold
all these songs’ll make it better for my truth to unfold

for my truth to unfold


and it’s a substitute procedure for one still out of reach
nothing here gets any easier, but maybe i’m not quiet as weak
this strength will bring me closer to a place i used to be
and i’ll stop looking over my shoulder- for that old version of me…

that old version of me.

and in my day dreams i swear i’m getting closer
to finding something that i just might call worth it
cross these bridges i was terified of walking over
and i keep telling myself- hey i deserve this…

don’t i deserve this?

HARMONICA BREAK

well i changed gears and directions when i ran out of luck
you don’t obsess with perfection when your road gets rough
no- you find something that’ll hold ya, if you’re searching hard enough
fill those cracks in with gold, and then you build it back up

you build it back up…
