lyrics

Before I started producing this record
I cut my nails
I used the time to think about
The ways that I could fail

But I decided to silence those voices
To the extent that I can
And that’s shown me a new bright way
To the promised land

And I will go
To a place where I feel good
And I will go
And someday I’ll return

I’ll come back
And the skyline will give me a heart attack
I’ll lay low
And I’ll learn not to burn

I always love when the day turns to twilight
But I hate when it’s too soon
Cuz nowadays when I search for moroni
I just see the moon

I like to think that that he’s beckoning for me
From the end of his horn
But I haven’t heard that trumpet sound
Since the day that I was born

And I will go
To a place where I feel whole
And I will go
And someday I’ll return

I’ll come back
With my life in my backpack
I’ll lay low
And I’ll learn not to burn

When I’m finished producing this record
I’m gonna cut my hair
And on that day I’ll pay particularly close attention
To the clothes that I will wear

And I will have a photograph taken
As prove that I tried
To eek out something over the airwaves
Before the day I died

And I will go
To a place where I feel safe
And I will go
And someday I’ll return

I’ll come back
Give you the shirt off my own back
I’ll lay low
And I’ll learn not to burn
