Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

I packed a suitcase full of yesterday

Hung my old name on a rusty hook

Left the wreckage where the river bends

Never once turned back to look

Pre-Chorus

And the sky kept its own slow promise

Gold threading through the grey

If morning keeps on coming

Then I still have room to stay

Chorus

Oh I wake to the light on the water

Every small thing feels brand new

I am not the man they made me

I'm the one I'm growing into

Verse 2

There's a waitress who remembers orders

A train whistle down the line

Strange voices in a filling station

Softly helping me unwind

Pre-Chorus

And a redbird at the window

Keeps returning every day

If something wild keeps showing up

Then I still have room to stay

Chorus

Oh I wake to the light on the water

Every small thing feels brand new

I am not the man they made me

I'm the one I'm growing into

Bridge

(Carry on, carry on)

Carry the echo of the road I've known

(Carry on with me)

Every scar is a story of its own

(Carry on, carry on)

Trading the weight for a lighter tone

(Carry on)

Till the weight is gone

Instrumental

Chorus

Oh I wake to the light on the water

Every small thing feels brand new

(Every small thing feels brand new)

I am not the man they made me

I'm the one I'm growing into

(One I'm growing into)

Outro

Mm-hmm

The sun is going to rise again

The sun is going to rise again

Mm-hmm
