Opening
It’s a long way up from rock bottom
There’s been times I felt I could fall further
I have loved and lost and feared and prayed
But now the day bursts wild and open
I have cried tears at my brother’s grave
I have shaken hands with my wife’s surgeon
I spent weeks inside the darkest cage
But now the day bursts wild and open
There’s a time to cry, there’s a time to fold
There’s a time for holding on or to let it go
There’s a time to run to the arms of hope
And the day bursts wild and open
I was raised by the church
Choir boy still far from fizzling
Not the pop star they say they prefer
Kept quiet but I came to be heard
Been a long time up top, but I ain’t complacent
If I look down, I can see replacements
Late night drive with my heartbeat racing
Gotta make dreams and chase them
Taken my fair share of that ridicule
But the words are not applicable
Catalogue formidable
Me and that guy are in a different place
Undefeated but that’s tempting fate
Two of them tried it, I won both cases
Won’t get back all the time they wasted
I am not losing steam
In this world, there’s no relaxing
I’ve been here since migraine skanking
Never been cool, but never been a has-been
I’d kip on your couch if you knew me back then
Don’t tell ’em ’bout the walls you’re trapped in
Gotta keep this Usain pace
Don’t ask me how I got this break
I built my own bricks through constant playing
SB died, couldn’t stop this pain
I look at the dots in space
I wonder if he’s proud
Or thinks that his best friend lost his way
Keep it together for my daughters
Gotta come natural, I don’t wanna force it
If it’s not factual, don’t support it
Every year, gotta re-swim these waters
Draw a line
For the sake of all your family and friends
Draw a line
So history doesn’t happen again
Draw a line
For the day to start, the night has to end
Draw a line
For all of these ghosts
Too high to fly this plane
Too fucked to drive this range
Can’t remember the last time I was on my own without Kev, it’s kinda strange
Not been the same since nineteen
Now to push Ly on a swing, I gotta wear disguises
I’m up for trading life sometimes
And that may surprise them
Every stadium, I played it
But I would still do it for free
Gotta keep standards top of the top of the tree
Press still got problems with me
When school starts, I might peace out
Till then, I keep chasing the dream
I could end it, but I don’t wanna reach out
‘Cause he means nothing to me
Don’t worry ’bout what I make
Don’t trip them up to win this race
When your career’s in a risky place
Everything seems like a big mistake
I’m still looking for shit to say
Deluding myself that they still relate
Depression, I keep at bay
Tomorrow’s a different day
Me and that guy don’t speak no more
I know why, but he’s not sure
So what is the reason for?
My heart’s been broke so many times by loved ones that I don’t even feel like talking
So heed that warning
Circle keeps getting smaller
All I need is Chez and my daughters and a few friends to help me
Draw a line
For the sake of your little girls and their time
Draw a line
But allow yourself some moments to cry
Draw a line
And leave the past that hurt you behind
Draw a line
For all of these ghosts
Draw a line
Be grateful that you’ve been where you’ve been
Draw a line
And recognise the path that happened between
Draw a line
There’s future here that’s yet to be seen
Draw a line
And the day bursts wild and open
