lyrics

Redeem me mother, can you see me through the trees
I climbed the highest I could find, just to see what I could be
And maybe talk to you again
Let your wisdom sink right into my shoulders

Lost, I’m so lost, like a star upon the sky
Just floating, shooting, burning out, leaving trails behind
And never following them back again
Just thinking bout what could’ve been
And talking too much

Every day the world seems heavy
Every time I think I’m ready something trips me up
You say, “don’t you give up”
But that’s a ghost that I’m still clinging to
A song I sing to bring me through the sorrow

Save me
Save me

He climbs the rocks so he can see
She runs the fields to jump and sing
Both have little parts of me, but the rest is made of all that’s free and better

I take a picture from the same spot every day
They cover all these walls around, and never seem to fade
And I think that I can trace the lines just right I’ll be the way you used to love me

Save me
Save

Think that I can trace the lines
All is free and better
Think that I can trace the lines
All is free and better
Think that I can trace the lines
All is free and better
Think that I can trace the lines
All is free and better
All is free and better
All is free and better…
