Tonight

I want to walk down
3rd St. slow
Drive up and down the coast
Watching the sunset hang
while God puts on his show
I want a life outside my own
A stranger that
everybody knows
I want to kill the ghost that
haunts me as I grow

But today and every single day
Just covers up my face
The earth is dark but
I can see the sky

Tonight I'll leave myself behind
And run into the light
I am broken but that's just
your type

I want to trade this tongue
for ears
Make failure disappear
I want the confidence that
doesn't lean on cheers
I want to plant the
golden seed
Beside a sparkling sea
Working my way up high in a
deeply rooted tree

But today and every single day
Just cripples both my legs
These hands don't work but
yours will do just fine

shine your light let me
see tonight
Shine your light put your
heart in mine
Cut the cord from this
empty life
Cut the cord leave it all behind
