Yeah
Eric
Well
I don't need to lie no more
Nowadays all I do is shine
Take a breath and ease my mind
And she don't cry no more
She tell me that I get her high
'Cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and...
I ain't asking "Why?" no more
Oh, no, I take it if it's mine
I don't stay inside the lines
It ain't 2009 no more
Yeah, I know what's behind that door
Yeah, okay you gotta jump in to swim
Well, the light was dim in this life of sin
Now every day I wake up and breathe
I don't have it all but that's alright with me
Take it nice and easy, took a flight to see me
Send you back home with a light that's beaming
The whole team about to figure it out
We ice cold, that's what winter's about
And sometimes, sometimes
I wish I took a simpler route
Instead of having demons that's as big as my house, mhmm
Have a ball with a dribble and bounce
'Cause the party ain't over 'til they're kicking me out, yeah
Isn't it funny? We can make a lot of money
Buy a lot of things just to feel a lot of ugly
I was yea high and muddy
Looking for what was looking for me
But I don't need to lie no more
Nowadays all I do is shine
Take a breath and ease my mind
And she don't cry no more
She tell me that I get her high
'Cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and...
I ain't asking "Why?" no more
Oh, no, I take it if it's mine
I don't stay inside the lines
It ain't 2009 no more
Yeah, I know what's behind that door
Yeah they ask me what I'm smiling for
Well, because I've never been this high before
It's like I never felt alive before
Mhmm, I'd rather have me peace of mind and water
See me and you, we ain't that different
I struck the fuck out and then I came back swinging
Take my time to finish, mind my business
A life ain't a life 'til you live it
I was digging me a hole big enough to bury my soul
Weight of the world, I gotta carry my own
My own, with these songs I can carry you home
I'm right here when you're scared and alone
And I ain't ever in a hurry
You don't never gotta worry
Even when it's 7:30 and the time is runnin' low
When your heart get cold
See what's behind all them unturned stones
And I'm a pro when it comes to my job
But really I'm just tryna start believin' in God
Now when it gets hard
I don't panic, I don't sound the alarm
Because I don't need to lie no more
Nowadays all I do is shine
Take a breath and ease my mind
And she don't cry no more
She tell me that I get her high
'Cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and...
I ain't asking "Why?" no more
Oh, no, I take it if it's mine
I don't stay inside the lines
It ain't 2009 no more
Yeah, I know what's behind that door
I don't need to lie no more
Nowadays all I do is shine
Take a breath and ease my mind
And she don't cry no more
She tell me that I get her high
'Cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and...
I ain't asking "Why?" no more
Oh, no, I take it if it's mine,
I don't stay inside the lines
It ain't 2009 no more
Yeah, I know what's behind that door
