lyrics

I look up to you. I can’t stand you looking down,
I’m still tryna find a way to keep your eyes above the ground,

Torn between your life and death and coin danced in the air,
But the moment that it left your hand you knew which side you wanted it to bear.

[Look me in the eyes, I refuse to tell you lies,
Think about that old remark, daylight always follows,
And I know that it hurts, I’ll be there when it feels worse,
If you wait to disembark, daylight always follows the dark.]

You tried to escape, with toxic air,
I remember when you woke up with scars, I remember you were scared.

You took me for a drive that night, and I remember I never made a sound,
I feared you wouldn't change your mind, and I cried at the thought of you not being around.

[Chorus]

You were like a brother. You were my best friend,
You were there when I thought my life was at its end.

And when you told me that I kept you back from taking your own,
You were able to draw water from a heart made out of stone.

[Chorus]

Just let your eyes adjust to the light.
We’ll be alright.
We’ll be alright.

It just continues to evolve, making those drafts I sent out to people three years ago fun, embarrassing, and neat way to see growth. ... more
