Verse 1

Up on the peak then down on my knees again

Counting the bruises and losing my oldest friends

Flew to the sun then slammed on the concrete floor

Learning to walk through a heavy and locked door

Hold to the steering wheel, trying to stay aligned

Looking for peace that I know that I left behind

Tore through the clouds just to crash in the shallow water

Asking the quiet night how it could get much harder

Chorus

Life tore me up, from the top to the sudden fall

Looking for middle ground standing against the wall

The one that I held so tight, protecting from the storm

I let your hand go free to keep you safe and warm

Yeah, I let you go free to keep you safe and warm

Verse 2

Deep in the low light, watching the shadows stretch

Every mistake is a burden I had to fetch
