Lyrics

I came back to the pine tree forest
Sick of all the driving and feeling like a tourist
Oh boys, don't ask me why I came back
'Cause on that matter I don't have much to say
I decided I would write again
So I picked up a piece of paper and a pen
Oh yes, started writing down everything
I decided it was time to change
First up on the list was loneliness
I'd spent six years simply drowning in it
Oh sure, I was an addict for the habit
I knew it was time to change
There you were
I was a shipwreck and you were the shore
There you were
All I needed was a place to land
There you were
I was a shipwreck and you were the shore
There you were
All I needed was some dry land
Now I'd up and won the lottery
I was making baby steps to who I wanted to be
Oh yes, I could feel it deep in my bones
I was changing, I was mellowing, new me
Then the headaches came, got me down
I'd wake up three days later, start looking around
I knew with you I was the worst version of myself
That I could ever possibly be
I got walking 'round the living room
Just trying to explain that I was living proof
Oh yes, here go my thoughts again
You said I was being manipulative
There it was
You were the cage and I was the dove
There it was
All I needed was a place to land
There it was
You were the cage and I was the dove
There it was
All I needed was some dry land
I got drunk and booked myself a massage
Walked into the parlor with my sunglasses on
Oh yes, I was just looking for someone
To untangle the guilt knot in my nerves
Well I'd already tried the psychologists
Held my hands up to their faces
See the cuffs on my wrists
Oh no, they were just taught to study
The words coming off of my lips
There you were
I was a shipwreck and you were the shore
There you were
All I needed was a place to land
There you were
I was a shipwreck and you were the shore
There you were
All I needed was some dry land
Here I go, I got my boots back on
Entertaining second glances then write trashy songs
Oh no, I could feel it deep in my bones
That I needed something new to do
Here's a poem I recite it every day, it goes
" Get out of my way"
Oh yes, I could feel it deep in my bones
That now it's my time to change
Here I am
Standing by the water, knees in the sand
Here I am
Still lost on this dry land
Here I am
Standing by the water, knees in the sand
Here I am
Still in need of a new plan
