Carved in Wood

So many midnights spent on rooftops

I felt electrified

Hoping for a spark, always waiting

Always petrified

Full of inspiration

In this constant stream of consciousness

Living in this glamorous metropolis

But surrounded by this greatness

All I did was suffocate

Until finally

My feelings for you

Are carved in wood

I found you, I never dreamed I would

You gave me a new home when I needed to belong

And now that I've stopped

I realize I've been running all along

Superficial networking

'Cause my only quest was fame (Fame)

Those years were so ridiculous (So ridiculous)

But I only have myself to blame (Myself to blame)

'Cause the constant fear of wasting

My potential and my youth

Turned into obsessing over all that I could lose

But one day I stopped waiting

For the world to realize

The genius of my art, and took my own advice

My feelings for you

Are carved in wood

I found you, I never dreamed I would

You gave me a new home when I needed to belong

And now that I've stopped

I realize I've been running all along

You saved me, restored my dignity

Made me the artist that I'm supposed to be

I never thought that I could feel ever so at home

I'm finally me in Pelican Town

Right where I belong

Right where I belong
