John Case

Lyrics

Used to count my losses
Like beads on a broken chain
Every “should’ve” on my shoulder
Every “maybe” in my way

I wore all my wrong turns
Like a coat that fit too tight
Sleeping in the daylight
Hiding from the night

So I burn the rearview
Let the ashes fall behind me
I’m done living in rewind
Got a heart and it reminds me
Every breath is brand new
Every step is made to move
I won’t worship what I ruined
I’ve got living left to do

Coffee in a cracked cup
Still tastes like something sweet
I laugh at all the stories
Where I used to just compete

I miss some calls on purpose
Stay and watch the evening stay
Let the sky go pink then purple
Let the guilt just drift away

I forgave that younger version
Who was reaching in the dark
He was doing all he could
With a scared and stubborn heart
Now I wake up with a promise
Written simple
Written true
Yesterday can’t call the shots
It just taught me what to do
