If we forget where we're from, And if I could wipe it clean
Could you see past a face
Dirtied by history

I tried to stand to expectations
But every action comes up short
Like a fool cast out at sea

I'm a ship without a port

But I'm trying to turn the page

And I'm trying to map my way
Though all the truths that I tell
Seem to come a lie too late

And this stage has worn me down
Behind the lights I'm all alone
But if I could get to you

Perhaps I could still make it home.

Truth be told I'm a little far behind

But I'm trying to make amends
And If I pay for my mistakes
Maybe we could still start again


It's a brand new year behind these eyes
I know it's hard to see when all you come to know is not who I want to be

And I've broken up this fantasy
Because I'm scared to death of subtlety
But behind this paper skin there's a heartbeat waiting


Truth be told I'm a little far behind
But I'm trying to make amends

And If I pay for my mistakes
Maybe we could still start again
I know it's late and I know I should have led

With all the feelings in my gut
Instead of stopping short of breath
And now I'm lost inside my head.
