Lyrics

Verse 1

Counting pulses in my wrist

Frayed nerves and a closed fist

Watching shadows grow tall across the hallway paint

The pressure makes a sinner feel a little like a saint

Is it really me talking

Or just a hollow shell walking

Deep water fills the basement of my head

Keeping secrets better left unsaid

Pre-Chorus

It is heavy

It is silent

It is mine

I am looking for a spark to find

Chorus

Wait for the tide to turn back home

I am sick of being all alone

Burn the maps and lose the phone

Broken bones and bitter blame

Carving symbols next to my name

Trying to forget why I came

I came to fix it

I came to change

I came to stay

Drop

Stay

Stay

Verse 2

Stare at the plastic glass

Waiting for the mood to pass

One foot stuck in the mud while the other wants to run

Staring directly into the barrel of a rising sun

Breathless

Restless

Wrestling with the way I was built

Sifting through the layers of the silt

Pre-Chorus

It is heavy

It is silent

It is mine

I am looking for a spark to find

Chorus

Wait for the tide to turn back home

I am sick of being all alone

Burn the maps and lose the phone

Broken bones and bitter blame

Carving symbols next to my name

Trying to forget why I came

I came to fix it

I came to change

I came to stay

Drop

Stay

Stay

Bridge

Cut the rope and let the anchor sink down deep

Promises are things I struggle hard to keep

But there is a crack where the yellow light gets through

Giving me a different point of view

Maybe I am stronger than the fear

Maybe I can finally see it clear

See it clear

See it clear

Chorus

Wait for the tide to turn back home

I am sick of being all alone

Burn the maps and lose the phone

Broken bones and bitter blame

Carving symbols next to my name

Trying to forget why I came

I came to fix it

I came to change

I came to stay

Hook

Ooh ooh

I came to stay

Ooh ooh

Fix it all today
