Lyrics

I remember back in a simpler time
Before I ever thought about busting a sick rhyme.
Hell, before I even went and played a guitar
and I thought "Maybe music could get me far?"

I was sitting in my living room, five years old.
I felt love that never could be bought or sold
And the world was still new, had a lot to learn.
I never had to worry, there was nothing I had to earn.

So I lived and I grew a little each day
Learning right from wrong in every possible way.
Keeping around all the things that I hold so dear
And letting go of those that'll bring me fear.

And when the day was over and I was greeting the night
You were always there, ready to hold me tight.
Always fighting the good fight before the press release
and I just knew I would be at peace.

And in the evening, when I am feeling lonely
And all the sunshine is lost and gone away
Please comfort me before I sleep
So when I wake I will see a brand new day.

I take time to reflect and reminisce
About everything that has brought me bliss.
Before my life was ignited by rock and roll
And I thought, "Maybe music could save my soul?"

Our house was standing room only every Christmas
Nowadays, everybody wants to keep their distance.
It's just one of those things I've come to accept
As time goes on and I feel regret.

For never doing things that maybe I should've
Or pursuing things I thought I never could've
I'd wish for one more moment with the ones who died
Just to fill the hole I'm feeling inside.

I'd say "I will always have love for you
Even if I rarely told you those facts were true.
And you remind me to keep close the ones I've got
and why fail in music, I cannot".

And in the evening, when I am feeling lonely
And all the sunshine is lost and gone away
Please comfort me before I sleep
So when I wake I will see a brand new day.

When I am feeling, so lost and broken hearted
You're always waiting to come and light my way.
Please dry these tears while I am weeping.
And won't you tell me I'll see a brand new day?
