Lyrics:

Saw the world from up close, it ain’t much to look at

Compared to you in your work clothes, waving hello from the driveway

I can’t make myself whole, most days I’d be lucky just to get half

But you’ve seen me in places so low, you can recognize when it’s real bad

When it’s real bad

Used to hate the silence, used to make me think about the old days

And all the miles in my legs, the late flights and missed birthdays

Out here I can hear your heartbeat, I can hear the start of a long sigh

I can hear the song of the robin, I haven’t wrote my own in a long time

And it’s just fine

‘Cause I don’t need my name back, throw my notebook in the basement

Oh, I love you and I can’t fake that for a moment

We go way back, we go way back

Tell me I don't need options, that I have substance, that I'm important

If it's only for letting dogs out, sweeping porches, to make me nothing

Take me way back

We go way back

The little pebble marks on your car door, the sound of your feet on the gravel

Said I’m always tryna run from what I’m known for, baby that's the thing about a shadow

I’ve never seen the rain fall so hard, honey, we’re north of nowhere now

Heaven is a drink in the backyard, as we watch the storm touch down

And it’s pouring out

And I don’t need my name back, throw my notebook in the basement

Oh, I love you and I can’t fake that for a moment

We go way back, we go way back

Tell me I don't need options, that I have substance, that I'm important

If it's only for letting dogs out, sweeping porches, well make me nothing

Take me way back

We go way back

Take me way, way back

We go way back
