We started out we were welcome in. We had enough when we needed it. Grip all you saw in a sea of shame. Run down your dream and then lose your place. I'm falling back up and feeling good.
Bright lights swing across the road. But no one seems to know. Just where I'll put my feet down next. Brown eyes, come with me tonight. You could be my Bonnie.
Shadows of greatness, it's the story of a small town. We wore the colors of our favorite little let down. The lies we told were never much, but who could keep track.
The Outsiders. Needtobreathe. . Shortfalls and little sins. Close calls where no one wins. Stand tall but running thin. I'm wearing thin. Oh, why are we keeping score.
I know how it started the walls that we build to separate us. Make it wider, stronger, til it's too tall for us to touch. Heaviness is on me I don't see how we might be whole again.
I feel their eyes all over me. It's lookin' like conspiracy. I'm out of friends that I can trust. Maybe they're on to us. . My heart is filled with suspicion.
I need the fear of a love that's lost. I need to stop trying to count the cost. I need to fight on the losing side. And always hold true. I will always stay with you.
What do I got to do to my love to make you understand me. Where do I find the piece of your heart to keep you satisfied. What do I got to do to my love you make you even notice.
There's a host of hurts we come across. None of which alike. From the air inside the birthing room. To the darkness where we die. Though I feel I'm just as strong as any man I know.
