Distractions

Distractions all around

It's too much, I guess

Especially right now

'Cause the world is such a mess

Yeah, but this guitar feels good

And the strings they ring out loud

And the spaces in the wood

Oh, that I have worn down

So light a candle if you want to, but I'm past all that

And only one thing can keep my thoughts tonight

I like it when the words want to fall out

Like them better when they don't even feel like mine

'Cause I'm tired of worrying, that's really not my style

And I'm waking up, I've been away awhile

I don't remember your name, but I love you just the same

Oh, I'll be on my way, which way was I going?

So welcome to the new you

Oh, when it's a secret path

Even you were not alone

And you were not your past

So light a candle if you want to, but I'm past all that

And only one thing can keep my thoughts tonight

I like it when the words want to fall out

Like them better when they don't even feel like mine

I'm tired of worrying, that's really not my style

And I'm waking up, I've been away awhile

I don't remember your name, but I love you just the same

Oh, I'll be on my way, which way was I going?

Now it's time to lay low

The crops are all in the field

It's time to go slow

But time to polish my shield

It's been a long rodeo

It's still the long way to go
