Lyrics: Ever since I was a child my dreams were like a scripture I’d draw them out and trust that one day they’d be more than pictures Like Brady said if I left I’d be the one guy That was different and then nothing changed Stories that appeared to me of love and fights for freedom And the way that all the clouds would turn the sky into a ceiling It was infinite, still I’ve always been so scared of leaving But I had to go If I should fall down Under stars I can’t call out Get me back to my home ground Let me add to the weight of the woods Tether my bones tight In view of that coastline And bury this soul of mine Give it back to the weight of the woods Never offered much except a song a little safety I never thought my luck would reach a point where you would take me I always had this fear like the younger me would hate me But it worked out fine The devil’s got his teeth in me it’s only happened lately I’m working hard against it but sometimes it ain’t so easy Oh there’ll be a time I’ll have to make my peace with those who made me I’ll be ready then If I should fall down Under stars I can’t call out Get me back on my home ground Let me add on the weight of the woods Tether my bones tight In view of that coastline And bury this soul of mine Give it back to the weight of the woods Let me add to the weight of the woods Give me back to the weight of the woods Let me add to the weight of the woods Give me back to the weight of the woods If I should fall down Under stars I can’t call out Get me back to my home ground Let me add to the weight of the woods Tether my bones tight In view of that coastline And bury this soul of mine Give it back to the weight of the woods
