Lyrics

[00:22.08] Some mornings I pray for evening,
[00:25.14] For the day to be done.
[00:27.58] Some summer days I hide away
[00:30.45] And pray for rain to come.
[00:33.20] It turns out hell will not be found
[00:36.26] Within the fires below,
[00:38.77] But in making do and muddling through
[00:40.64]
[00:41.71] When you've nowhere else to go.
[00:45.34] But then I remember you,
[00:51.03] And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
[00:56.47] And if you remembered me,
[01:02.03] You could save me from the way I tend to be.
[01:06.90] the way I tend to be.
[01:12.03]
[01:19.09] Some days I wake up dazed my dear,
[01:22.22] And I don't know where I am.
[01:24.78] I've been running now so long I'm scared
[01:27.72] I've forgotten how to stand.
[01:30.28] I stand alone in airport bars
[01:33.22] And gather thoughts to think:
[01:35.65] That if all I had was one long road
[01:38.85] It could drive a man to drink.
[01:42.53] But then I remember you,
[01:47.97] And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
[01:53.53] And if you remembered me,
[01:59.03] You could save me from the way I tend to be
[02:05.34] Because I've said I love you so many times that the words kinda die in my mouth.
[02:10.60] And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but somehow it never works out.
[02:16.22] You stood apart in my calloused heart, and you taught me and here's what I learned:
[02:21.47] That love is about the changes you make and not just three small words.
[02:28.80] And then I catch myself
[02:35.18] Catching your scent on someone else
[02:39.68] In a crowded space
[02:45.25] And it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place.
[02:50.30] But then I remember you,
[02:56.36] And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
[03:01.73] And if you remembered me,
[03:07.42] You could save me from the way I tend to be
[03:12.36] the way I tend to be
[03:17.42]
[03:23.62] the way I tend to be
[03:29.13] the way I tend to be
