Lyrics

There’s a hammer on my table, nails inside my head
I don’t know quite what I’m building, I just hope it’s not a mess
I could use some peace and quiet, but all I make is noise
I just wanted some companions, to be one of the boys
But everything's how it used to be,
The apple tree and the snake
Blame it all on coincidence,
Or you can chalk it up to fate
As for me, I never lost that feeling
There’s a chorus and it came on strong
Swelled inside me like it’s growing season
I raise my voice and I sing along
I’ve been stumbling through the darkness trying to find a hand to hold
Squint my eyes for something shining instead of only striking coal
Been getting lost in little moments, find a town and paint it red
These days I’m treading open ocean, but there’s a song stuck in my head
Nothing’s quite what it used to be
Everything gets replaced
So write yourself a new recipe
Or you can push it ‘round your plate
As for me, I’ve got a long drive coming
Back to my home, I’m bound
Saw the clouds like a stage above me
The rain came down, my favorite sound
One day things are gonna change for me
Gone, the weight off my chest
It calms me down like the swaying seas
I close my eyes, and I finally rest
