Was your smile always crooked
Was the freedom ever free
Do you kick the rocks between your feet
After all this time with me
You can listen to your own records now
Decide what you believe
You can pray on stars and skip the gods
Like stones across the sea

But I would know you anywhere
I lost myself in you
Heavy are the hands that you are
Free to slip right through
Do what you have to do
There you are, my morning star
I wondered when you'd show
Give me just a quick thumbs-up
A wink before you go
I never heard that voice before today
I remind myself to breathe
There you are
It's just you without me

I'm late to another game
I guess I never learned the rules
I showed up with a broken name
And handed it to you
I'm not sure if you could fix it now
But if you wanted to

I would follow you around
And carry all your tools

But I would know you anywhere
I found myself in you
Heavy are the hands that hold
The changes you'll go through
Do what you have to do
There you are, my morning star
I wondered when you'd show
Give me just a quick thumbs-up
A wink before you go
I never heard that voice before today
I remind myself to breathe
There you are
It's just you without me

As predictable as time and age
But comforting in some strange way
That time makes every one of us
An absolute cliché
But when I met you face to face
None of it was true
So who am I if I'm not you

There you are, my morning star
I wondered when you'd show
Give me just a quick thumbs-up
A wink before you go
I never heard that voice before today
I remind myself to breathe
I'm ever just a thought away
If ever you need me
You're gonna live a lot of life
You're gonna see a lot of years
God willing, just you without me
