lyrics

a surprising
horizon
the sunrise, it
never looked so bright
shake the bitter off
nothing little lost
but nothing you can’t get back again
if you want

stole a piece of me
but not quite all you see
i still got something hiding here
up my sleeve
edges kinda rough
dreams are going bust
but all that means is i’m
finally waking up

guilt’s as good as gone
put my new shoes on
‘bout to find out another road home
skip to keep the beat
baby, talk is cheap
i’d rather be singing
like la la la la la

i’ll be alright
i’m almost sure, baby
maybe this time
i’m gonna learn
now i’m on my way
back to before
and i’m not quite glad
but i’m not so sad
anymore

well don’t sweat it
you forget it
i can’t let it
bring me down again
looking forward to
not conforming to
the sorta person you
thought you thought you knew
might be led astray
might just run away
either way i know i’m
gonna be ok
nothing in front of me
but possibilities
and every one of them’s
looking just fine by me

it’s the tunnel light
ready to ignite
i’ve been bottling up all this time
clear my dizzy head
of all the things you said
what was i thinking
like hmmm

i’ll be alright
i’m almost sure, baby
maybe this time
i’m gonna learn
now i’m on my way
back to before
and i’m not quite glad
but i’m not so sad
anymore

i’m not so sad
anymore
you don’t belong
to me anymore

guilt’s as good as gone
put my new shoes on
‘bout to find out another road home
skip to keep the beat
baby, talk is cheap
i’d rather be singing
like la la la la la

i’ll be alright
i’m almost sure, baby
maybe this time
i’m gonna learn
now i’m on my way
back to before
i’m seeing straight
i’m out the door
and i’m on my way
back to before
and i’m not quite glad
but i’m not so sad
anymore
