lyrics

The Songwriter

All I ever wanted was to reach the ones they never reached,
to reach the ones they left behind, to reach the ones like me.
But the years have fallen like the snow. They melt away and I don't know if I can keep this up any more.
Now I'm staring at a half-filled glass in a half-lit room in a chair out back,
another night with no one left inspired.
So maybe I'm the only one. The mirror is my stage and crowd.
Like a tragicomedy, I'll take a bow.

But you're still around. I know you're trying
to take a frown from “goodbye” to “I'm still with you.”

Now the melodies outweigh the words, forsaken memories unheard,
just writing left to fade right off the page.
But the smiles and tears were never words. They're never bound by what endured on a stage where life is only just a game.
Standing at another crossroads, like so many times, they always take me
to the only place I want to be.
So if I am the only one, well, that's okay, 'cause I'm not done.
The heart is full and that's what this song needs.

You're still around. I know you're trying
to take a frown from “goodbye” to “I'm still with you.”
You're still around. I know you're trying
to take a frown from “so long” to “I still love you.”

Give me hope. Give me joy and restraint.
Give me peace. Give me want and restraint.
(You're still around. I know you're trying to turn a frown around.)

Years go by. I've heard that song before.
Won't you say, “It's alright.”
It's alright.
