Lyrics

Oh

Was your smile always crooked? Was the freedom ever free?

Do you kick the rocks between your feet, after all this time with me?

You can listen to your own records now, decide what you believe

You can pray on stars and skip the gods like stones across the sea

But I would know you anywhere, I lost myself in you

Heavy are the hands that you are free to slip right through

Do what you have to do

There you are, my morning star, I wondered when you'd show

Give me just a quick thumbs up, a wink before you go

I never heard that voice before today, I remind myself to breathe

There you are, it's just you without me

I'm late to another game, I guess I never learned the rules

I showed up with a broken name and handed it to you

I'm not sure if you can fix it now, but if you wanted to

I would follow you around and carry all your tools

I would know you anywhere, I found myself in you

Heavy are the hands that hold the changes you go through

Do what you have to do

There you are, my morning star, I wondered when you'd show

Give me just a quick thumbs up, a wink before you go

I never heard that voice before today, I remind myself to breathe

There you are, it's just you without me

Without me

As predictable as time and age, but comforting in some strange way

Time makes every one of us an absolute cliché

But when I met you face to face, none of it was true

So who am I if I'm not you?

There you are, my morning star, I wondered when you'd show

Give me just a quick thumbs up, a wink before you go

I never heard that voice before today, I remind myself to breathe

I'm ever just a thought away, if ever you need me

You're gonna live a lot of life, you're gonna see a lot of years

God willing, just you without me

There you are, just you without me

Without me

Without me
