Lyrics

I found a chest inside
An estate sale find
Full of written lines
From another time
A story
Just cast aside
Of dear souvenirs
And how he lived his years

He packed it up
Left his town
Made a plan
And ran it down
And all his world, it called out

And his life won’t lie down
No, it must be found
By the boy that left home
All on his own

And in his rush to find
His place in his time
He kind of lost his mind
Needed to rewind
A vision
It must be her smile
And they lit a flame
That needed a name

Sitting up
Falling down
Gentle hands
All around
Then all his world
It slowed down

And this life that he found
It calmed him down
Feels just like home
Love so profound

And in between each line
I feel how hard he tried
All he had to give
And how he thought he'd live
All his hopes
Buried in notes
Full of mundane
Ordinary pain

Failing up
Loving down
Made it to
Hallowed ground
To all the world
Lost somehow

And this life he wrote down
Now makes no sound
Hits so close to home I
Can't stand it now

At my life here and now
I look around
Hits so close to home I
Can't stand it now

And all the world It slows down
