Lyrics

I'm an new soul working my way down an old road

I spot churches all around

Roots break through this deep foundation

Can't find my place on solid ground

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

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

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

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

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

I'm a new soul working my way down an old road

Just looking for a place on solid ground

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
