Verse 1
I wear my worries like a second skin,
Carry them home every night.
The miles stack up behind my eyes,
But I still chase the morning light.
There’s a voice in my head like a rusted chain,
Dragging through every room,
Asking if I’ll ever be enough
To deserve a love like you.
Pre-Chorus
And I know I’m hard on myself,
Like the devil keeps score in my veins.
Chorus
I’m the man between who I am
And who I’m trying to be.
One hand holding my future,
One hand pulling on old memories.
I’ve got tired bones and a restless heart,
A thousand doubts I can’t outrun.
But if you’re waiting at the end of the road,
Then I’m not done.
No, I’m not done.
Verse 2
The dogs asleep in the living room,
Your voice drifting through the dark,
Little pieces of a life I’ve dreamed
Since before I knew where to start.
And maybe I don’t see what you see
When you look at me and smile,
Maybe I’m still chasing a better man
That’s been just ahead all the while.
Pre-Chorus
But you make me believe
He’s closer than I think.
Chorus
I’m the man between who I am
And who I’m trying to be.
One hand holding my future,
One hand pulling on old memories.
I’ve got tired bones and a restless heart,
A thousand doubts I can’t outrun.
But if you’re waiting at the end of the road,
Then I’m not done.
Bridge
So let the storms come.
Let the old ghosts talk.
Let every fear I’ve ever carried
Meet me in the dark.
I’ll stand there shaking,
But I won’t break.
Because loving you gave meaning
To every step I take.
Final Chorus
I’m the man between who I was
And the one you’ll someday know.
Still learning how to carry hope,
Still learning how to let it show.
And if I spend my whole life trying
To give you stars I cannot touch,
At least you’ll know every beat of my heart
Was trying to love you that much.
Outro
I may never hold the universe in my hands…
But I’ll spend forever trying to build one for you.
