"Searchlight" lyrics

I'm a new soul, workin' my way down an old road
Asphalt churches all around
Roots break through this deep foundation
Can't find my place on solid ground

No one taught me how to let go
Been hangin' by a thread on a tightrope
And you can't speak what you don't know
That's for sure

So, don't wait up for me, I don't need
Your searchlight
While you're fast asleep, I'm runnin' free
Yeah, it's alright
I know you had a plan, but that's not who I am
I don't know where I'll land
But I don't need
Your searchlight to see anymore

Raindrops fall, and they feel like the open ocean
Spiderwebs shimmer in the dark
These movies play out in slow motion
Cobwebs linger in the heart

No one taught me how to let go
Been hangin' by a thread on a tightrope
But you can still learn what you don't know
That's for sure

So, don't wait up for me, I don't need
Your searchlight
While you're fast asleep, I'm runnin' free
Yeah, it's alright
I know you had a plan, but that's not who I am
I don't know where I'll land
But I don't need
Your searchlight to see anymore

I'm a new soul, makin' my way down an old road
Just lookin' for a place on solid ground

So, don't wait up for me, I don't need
Your searchlight
While you're fast asleep, I'm runnin' free
Yeah, it's alright
I know you had a plan, but that's not who I am
I don't know where I'll land
But I don't need
Your searchlight to see anymore
