Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a new soul working my way down an old road
Asphalt churches all around
Roots break through this deep foundation
Can't find my place on solid ground
[PreChorus]
No one taught me how to let go
Been hanging by a thread on a tightrope
And you can't speak what you don't know
That's for sure
[Chorus]
So don't wait up for me
I don't need your searchlight
While you're fast asleep
I'm running free, yeah, it's alright
I know you had a plan, but that's not who I am
I don't know where I land, but I don't need
Your searchlight to see anymore
[Verse 2]
Raindrops fall and they feel like the open ocean
Spider webs shimmer in the dark
These movies play out in slow motion
Cobwebs linger in the heart
[PreChorus]
No one taught me how to let go
Been hanging by a thread on a tightrope
But you can still learn what you don't know
That's for sure
[Chorus]
So don't wait up for me
I don't need your searchlight
While you're fast asleep
I'm running free, yeah, it's alright
I know you had a plan, but that's not who I am
I don't know where I land, but I don't need
Your searchlight to see anymore
[Bridge]
I'm a new soul working my way down an old road
Just looking for a place on solid ground
[Chorus]
So don't wait up for me
I don't need your searchlight
While you're fast asleep
I'm running free, yeah, it's alright
I know you had a plan, but that's not who I am
I don't know where I land, but I don't need
Your searchlight to see anymore
