Maybe the truth,
Isn’t what we thought it was,
And maybe these lies,
They’re just engrained in us,
And it could just be me over thinking things,
But I think I know more than ever now,
Where I need to be.
Chorus:
And all I know is when I arrived there,
I felt at home,
Something inside me is pulling me,
Towards the East Coast,
I just want to go back to the rolling hills and the crashing tides,
That crashed into my life,
And opened my eyes.
And opened my eyes.
Sunrise, sunset,
Come upon me.
With a new view of life I’ve never had.
People come and people go,
And the people who came sure let me know that,
There is still beauty and good.
(Chorus)
So, maybe the truth,
Isn’t what we though it was,
And maybe these lies, well,
They’re just ingrained in us,
And it could just be,
Me over thinking things
But I think I know more than ever now,
Where I need to be.

Weakness,
Oh Weakness,
Won’t you please leave my soul
What you did with my strength
I don’t want to know
Oh strength,
Can you hear me,
When I call your name
Don’t listen to weak whisper
It’ll drive you insane
Oh happiness,
Happiness,
Where have you gone,
You’re like an old friend,
I haven’t seen for so long
Chorus:
Oh heart,
My heart,
Won’t you please come back home.
I know you don’t trust me
But he is long gone,
Oh heart,
My heart,
Won’t you please come back home,
I know you don’t trust me,
But trust me, he’s long gone.
Fear,
Oh I’ve seen you,
Lurking around here,
Waiting for opportunity,
When she knocks at my door.
Opportunity, opportunity,
Won’t you give me a chance
And just look my way
When fears on your back.
Intuition, intuition,
Please stop your roam,
and stop fear and weakness,
from knocking down my soul.
(Chorus x 2)

Well I called you crying,
And all you could say,
Was I’ll call you back.
I hope you thought of me,
In your white powdered dreams,
In your white powdered dreams.
And you, you sure fooled me,
But more importantly you fooled yourself.
And I’m not one to give up,
Until I’m face down and ass up.
Chorus:
So take all your shoes,
Out of my closet,
Out of my closet.
And pack all your bags,
And get out of my soul,
Get out of my soul.
Well I tried to be your philosopher,
But it was over your head,
It was over your head.
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do,
Was give up on you,
Give up on you.
And your pride will get the best of you,
I’m only guilty of having hope for you.
(Chorus)
Get out of my soul.
And your pride will get the best of you,
I’m only guilty of having hope for you,
‘Cause I saw the person that you could be.
‘Cause I saw the person that you could be.
‘Cause I saw the person that you could be.
‘Cause I saw the person that you could be.

Verse 1:
Every different stage has its’ song,
And I’m singing this to a view that looks much like my home.
And lately, I’m not even foolin’ myself,
So what makes me think I can fool anybody else.
And if I could just number my thoughts,
Then maybe I could see oh what I’ve been hidin’,
And they, they would outline times’ motives,
And understanding that would just give me peace.
Chorus:
So faith could you just take my hand and say you got a good heart, so trust in that,
And I, yeah I’m mine own warrior, and my own judgement, and my own scorn,
So confidence can I please come over, and bathe in your tub and sleep in your, sleep in your bed.
Verse 2:
And I’ve got these situations that ring through my head,
They knock on my heart and they weigh down my step.
And I’ve, yeah I’ve got this bar I set when I was born,
Way to high
Chorus Repeat:
So faith could you just take my hand,
Say you got a good heart, so trust in that,
Baby you got a good heart, so trust in that,
Yeah you got a good heart, so trust in that.
