Lyrics

See the child running
So fast as to lose their bearing
OK when the morning birds sing
But the days are hardly sparing
Outside always looking in—
Heaven’s just a way back when
I swear I’ve heard this one before…
What’s the child ever running towards?
I steal every line that I like
From every poem
Every song I didn’t write
An imposter built on indecision
I am a major mess
I am strong
I am endless contradiction
See the child running
See them lost in their conviction
Circling wildly
Looking for a sign
New leaves in the early light
Real sweet like autumn time
Some place I know but can’t describe
Where it’s all right
To want to be all right
Kinda feels like deja vu
Half my life on the same reflection
My compass always pointing to
Some lack of bright direction
Well, Old Peggy in her wisdom
Says boy, it’ll all work out
Pitch black is the darkness
But we find our way somehow
Then she says
Remember in the moment
When you feel like falling down
“It’s not about me and it’s not about now”
Then I say to myself
I should take this one to heart
I think I caught a bad one
Or maybe I’m just cursed
I think oh my god
Oh my god it hurts
I’ve been putting in the time
I’ve been doing the work
I try hope in the chorus
But believe in the verse
Come on!
(New leaves in the early light)
Where’s that place that I’ve been looking for?
(Somewhere I know but can’t describe)
I gotta get there…
Is it all right
To want to be all right?
