"My Regeneration" lyrics

Started off a figure
In a painted land
Arrived at some kind of understanding
Where the seasons go slow
And there's no time at all
For white lies and surface reactions

There's a light in the distance
At the edge of the night
Scared to open your eyes hesitation
There's only so much affliction
You can choose to ignore
Been waiting for your regeneration

I was living on the back roads
She said, "How far d'you wanna drive?"
I said, "I'm having trouble deciding"
I was daydreaming
Till she said my name
Then we talked for the next 100 miles

I gazed at her reflection
In the dashboard lights
Ah this could be my regeneration
When she wound down the window
I could see the crescent moon
It'll be here soon my regeneration

I love old hotels
They got thick thick walls
And heavy curtains over the window
I'm waiting for a sign
To appear in my mind
And drag me out of this limbo

There's a light on the landing
And it stays on all night
Ah this could be my regeneration
The way you tell your story
Is how you survive
How we understand our place in this life

Ended up sleeping
On the floor beside her bed
In a dream decided to wake up
Grabbed all my things
Headed for the door
That's where the picture started to break up

I'm ready now I'm leaving
Gonna pour it out like Pericles
In a golden age
Like spring rain on dry ground
Caterpillar crawling round
No way over and no way back

I couldn't find what I wanted
When it didn't feel right
Scared to open my eyes hesitation
Regeneration
Regeneration
Regeneration
Regeneration
Regeneration
