From Here You’re On Your Own
Words and Music by Adam Watts
I’m in the middle of nowhere
The center of dark
This isn’t about what is fair
It’s about where you are… and where you’re not
Oh how you run
Straight to your fun
And you bury it all
Turn your back as it falls
And now all that I can trust
Is that a wave does what a wave does
(chorus)
So I won’t pretend
That you’ll just bend, ‘cause you break
I’ll back away
So if it’s the end
I’ll put on thicker skin
You should you know
From here, you’re on your own
I’m painting a picture of us
It’s a head, a fire and a heart
Where all of the rhythms match up
And the sparks, pierce the dark
But, oh how you run
Straight to your fun
And you bury it all
Turn your back as it falls
I know that you’re trying a new way
But when your light turns on, I just might be gone
Chorus
