This is for you
You that thinks you’ve fallen
I can see that’s not true
You’re on the ledge just looking
Down at the ground
So look somewhere else
Turn it around
Back to the mainland
Full of your loved ones
And strangers who love you
I can’t do it for you
But I will be here
I can’t do it for you
This is for you
The warmest smile I’ve known
Wrapped in your light blue mood
Smile and all’s forgiven
Don’t let us get
Dragged to the ground
You feel things so heavy
But everything’s good
Love’s sticking around
I want this to feel true
But I can’t feel it for you
I want this to feel true
But I can’t feel it for you
You blame yourself
But everything turned out the way it’s supposed to
Look up and find yourself inside a new room
In a new house
One that you chose for yourself.
But damn, there’s your past
Shining like a blade inside a fresh wound
Kaleidoscope of tears on every new moon
With that old tide
Pulling the same old tune
“I want you back”
I start to think when everything gets confused
The lights are on but no-one knows who sent you
Owns you, take time, start new
Don’t cut your hair
Push your body through
Almost perfect
Almost like brand new.

I used to be a different person
Go out in the evening
Had a lot to say
But all of that is changed
I gave away
Pieces of my body
And my brain
I’ll get it back some day
I used to think that I was different
Something in the movement
In my mind
But I was far from right
I was just the same
Full of hope and promise
Never coming true
I wanted more from you
But I know
That if I could do it all again
I’d do it just the same
‘Cause people are always forgetting the words to their song
And people move on
People move on
Please don’t tell me what you’re thinking
I don’t need to know it
You’ve said too much
That cannot be unheard
Now it’s a worm
Planted in my shadow
Growing by the day
I wish it didn’t work that way
But I know
That if I could do it all again
I’d do it just the same
‘Cause both of us have forgotten the words to our song
And people move on
People move on
And this, this is for my girl
It’s about her daddy
He is a good man
I loved him all I can
But love is a strange thing
For you it’s never waning
You are the big light.
