lyrics

Lately you’ve been becoming something I fInd so hard to recognize * I’ve been asking you to see it * But you won’t wake yourself up and realize * This painful grudge that you’d been holding against your past has prompted you to cling on to all these ways that aren’t accepting * They’re condescending, and it eats away at you * And you won’t come home as you walk down your lonely road * And you won’t come home * No you won’t * Fear is what’s pushing your whole life around * Fear is what’s pulling you and dragging you down * You’re floating away * Put your feet on the ground and go back to who you were again * It seems you haven’t smiled since then * Change is often a good thing when you’re changing for reasons bigger than you * The winds bring change and the seasons rearrange * But you were better off just staying how you were * And you won’t come home * As you walk down your empty road * And you won’t come home * No you won’t * Fear is what’s pushing your whole life around * Fear is what’s pulling you and dragging you down * You’re floating away * Put your feet on the ground and go back to who you were again * It seems you haven’t smiled since then * Loss of clarity, of who you make yourself out to be * Fear is what’s pushing your whole life around * Fear is what’s pulling you and dragging you down * You’re floating away * Put your feet on the ground and go back to who you were again * It seems you haven’t smiled since then
