From the recording Demo Days
Lyrics
Somewhere along the way
Verse 1
Cold house, TV glow
Mom worked nights, I stayed low
Hand me downs, worn out name
Learned real quick to numb the pain
Empty seat, Friday lights
Stopped asking after a while
Report cards, sinking fast
Built like I was meant to crash
Pre-Chorus
You don’t come back from gone
You don’t fix what you left wrong
Chorus
You showed up late, I already paid
Somewhere I became you, along the way
I tried to run, I tried to change
Still feel you, in every step I take
Verse 2
Cheap highs, long comedowns
Thirty years just blacking out
Swore I’d never be that man
Now I see you in my hands
Same habits, different skin
Same silence settling in
I wear you like a second face
Something I can’t outrun or erase
Pre-Chorus
You don’t get to show up clean
Not after what you made of me
Chorus
You showed up late, I already paid
Somewhere I became you, along the way
I tried to run, I tried to change
Still feel you in every step I take
Bridge
I needed you, you weren’t there
Now you’re here, I don’t care
Too much time, too much space
You don’t get to take that place
NO!!!
Final Chorus
You showed up late, I already paid
Somewhere I became you, along the way
I tried to run, I tried to change
Still feel you in every step I take
Outro
Somewhere I became you…
I don’t know if I forgive you
Every step I take
Somewhere along the way
