Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think I'll take a second chance
I won't be passing by these waters again
Wanna feel redemption's hand
And see this life only for what it, what it is
I know the river's not too wide
Had to see it for myself with my own eyes
Something out there's on my side
It's not my place to question why
[Verse 2]
Everybody needs time away
To wake up with the sun on their face
I'm not there yet but I know
I don't wanna feel numb
Falling over all of my shadows
Yeah, I'm all done
'Cause none of that ever really mattered
It hurts to live so wide awake, oh
But it's a chance I can take
I won't run, run, run
[Verse 3]
'Cause I don't wanna feel numb
[Verse 4]
So deep inside these hills I run
To a place where I can see till kingdom come
See the days one by one
And love this life only for what it, what it is
I hear the whispers in the stars
The words that tell us more of who we are
Someone out there's not that far
Everything I need is here now
[Verse 5]
Everybody needs time away
To wake up with the sun on their face
I'm not there yet but I know
That I don't wanna feel numb
Falling over all of my shadows
Yeah, I'm all done
'Cause none of that ever really mattered
It hurts to live so wide awake, oh
But it's a chance I can take
I won't run, run, run
'Cause I dont want to feel numb
[Verse 6]
A tidal wave brought to life
Rushing over every doubt of mine
Open soul in an open sky
Everything, everything is right
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 7]
I don't wanna feel numb
Falling over all of my shadows
Yeah, I'm all done
'Cause none of that ever really mattered
[Verse 8]
It hurts to live so wide awake, oh
But it's a chance I can take
I won't run, run, run, yeah
And no, I won't run, run, run, oh
[Verse 9]
'Cause I don't wanna feel numb
'Cause I don't wanna feel numb
'Cause I don't wanna feel numb
