Road I Can Live With

[Verse 1]
Woke up with my history
Spread out on the floor
Old plans
Torn pages
I don't read them anymore
Coffee going cold
While the daylight shifts its hue
I’ve been living on automatic
Now I wanna choose
[Chorus]
I want a road I can live with
Not just a road I survive
Every slow
Small
Steady step
Bringing me back alive (yeah)
Let me be awake in my own skin
Every breath
Every stumble
Every win
I want a road I can live with
And walk it to the end
[Verse 2]
Used to chase every shadow
Every passing
Shining thing
Left my spirit overdrawn
On the promise they would bring
Now I count my heartbeat
Like a prayer under my hand
If I change these quiet moments
I can change where I stand
[Chorus]
I want a road I can live with
Not just a road I survive
Every slow
Small
Steady step
Bringing me back alive (oh yeah)
Let me be awake in my own skin
Every breath
Every stumble
Every win
I want a road I can live with
And walk it to the end
[Bridge]
I can’t rewrite the story
But I can turn the page
Put my name on every choice
Draw a circle ‘round the rage
If I listen when it hurts
If I stay when it’s tough
Maybe quiet
Maybe gentle
Is finally strong enough
[Chorus]
I want a road I can live with
Not just a road I survive
Every slow
Small
Steady step
Bringing me back alive
Let me be awake in my own skin
Every breath
Every stumble
Every win
I want a road I can live with
Yeah
I want a road I can live with
And walk it to the end (walk it to the end)

rock, Slow-burn blues rock with male vocals, smoky tremolo guitar and a lazy backbeat. First verse rides a dry, intimate groove; chorus widens with overdriven chords, organ pad, and stacked call-and-response backing vocals. Second verse brings in tasteful slide fills and a slightly busier bass. Bridge drops to half-time and almost a cappella before the full band crashes back in for a final, cathartic chorus and a ringing outro chord., blues
