lyrics

Long slide down Seventy Five
I was standing in holy waters
My head is clear my heart's in there
And I know what I got to do
I been riding this song like a trail
Leading back to who
I was or could have been
But I quit paying that rent
Those dreams are free to live in my head
And either way I'm gonna be ok
At least tonight

It's more about me than you
Dancing around these secret clues
I got to be better and the only way to healing
Is letting you know the truth

Oh you got to let me let you know
That it feels like I've been fighting since I was twelve years old
Tearing my heart to shreds
Finding ways to get lost
So I could find myself again
I just wanted to feel normal
That's my own damn fault I guess
If you keep digging though
You're bound to find

It's more about me than you
Dancing around these secret clues
I got to be better and the only way to healing
Is letting you know the truth
Oh this is where I want to be
You know
This life ain't so difficult
We've come so far and sometimes it's hard
But I'm learning how to ask for help

This is where I want to be
This is where I want to be

It's more about me than you
Dancing around these cryptic clues
Oh I know I can be better
The only way to prove it is by telling the truth

And it feels like we're running out of time
And it feels like we're running out of time
