[Verse 1]
Now I'm not proud to talk about all that I've ever done
I keep a couple secrets and talk about only some
My past is patiently waiting back in a long line, -
- and for me to talk about it now would be the wrong time
I know I've hurt some people; maybe more than my share
I know that maybe those people think I don't even care
The thought occurs to me. I live with it every day
I carry the pain of the people I've hurt. It's a heavy weight
And so I carry this burden forever, heaven sakes
Every step I take, I know it will never break
I shake, shiver, shutter, and can't settle down, -
- cause it's an awful lot for me to wrap my head around
And if it's not worth the effort of breath, -
- then has the hot novelty stopped, or not? Probably yes
It's not gone for me yet, but a lot's off for the best
I'm tired of these lies. I'm not ???
[Hook]
All I know has got to bend to break
All I own has got to give to take
Let me broke, and mend me straight
I have ??? for heaven's sake
When we grow no chance to breathe
If it holds just let it be
All I am is your's, so please
Stay right here. You set me free
[Verse 2]
Now I could talk until my face turned blue, -
- but won't nobody believe me until the see that it's true
It's time I shut up and showed 'em, -
- cause talkin' never accomplished much
The loudest word is nothing compared to the {softest touch}
I use the darkest ink. You get it set in stone
I'll watch the paper fade. You can watch the rock erode
I like the moments when the music and talk is low
The deeper the water the harder to rock the boat
Back to the camera knowing only I've got to go
Talk to the ocean. Say “I wish I could walk you home”
C-c-come together. Leave apart; not alone
Going back knowing that the house we made is not a home
Blocked thoughts of a what-not plot
They've been locked ?? talking, so they're finally known
Now it's not fine, and we know it. I've lost time and I know it
Your leopards got spots and they're finally showing
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I heard the salt water singing as I sat on the shore
I sang along to the chorus, cause I heard it before
The same words rehearsed; first verse, letter and last line
A different name, but same song as the last time
The ocean came close. She knows when it's that time
We hummed the tune together hoping to pa** time
She stopped at the chorus. Said “this wasn't written for us”
So I took a step closer to the ocean and asked why
She told me sometimes you gotta sing alone
When you find yourself sitting on a rock, walk home, -
- pick a song that you know, sing it strong when it's chosen -
- then stand up, and step out, and walk cross the ocean
And as she spoke she slowly floated away
Slow enough to let me know that she was showing the way
So I stood up, stepped out, and headed for home
And as the waves washed away I started singing alone
[Hook x2]
All I am is yours, so please
Stay right here. You set me free
Stay right here. You set me free
I said All I am is your ??, please
Stay right here. You set me free
