Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Came here crying
Came here clean
Tiny hands
Big old dream
Somewhere I signed on the line
Traded my memory for time
Mama said
“boy
You’ll understand
When the hurt grows bigger than your hands”
All I had tucked in my chest
Was a word I couldn’t spell yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Always waking up mid-sentence
Like a story I can’t find
Faces I should recognize
Just shadows in my mind (yeah)
[Chorus]
Sleight of eye
I was born and I forgot
Every name that I carried from the start
I don’t know where I began
But I feel it in my heart
So I let faith write the part I can’t define
Turn this blank page into testimony lines
I don’t see the whole design
But I swear the thread is mine
[Verse 2]
I’ve been chasing every flash
Déjà vu that fades to black
Smell of rain on broken stone
Feels like somewhere I called home
Every bruise and every break
Feels familiar
Feels awake
Like I chose this crooked road
Then erased the episode
[Pre-Chorus]
Always running into moments
That already know my name
Like the future left a footprint
In a past I can’t explain (oh)
[Chorus]
Sleight of eye
I was born and I forgot
Every name that I carried from the start
I don’t know where I began
But I feel it in my heart
So I let faith write the part I can’t define
Turn this blank page into testimony lines
I don’t see the whole design
But I swear the thread is mine
[Bridge]
If I wrote this life before
Why’d I hide it from my sight?
Maybe losing all I was
Is how I step into the light
So I’ll trust what I can’t prove
Every silence
Every sign
Let the mystery move my moves
Till the pieces realign (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Sleight of eye
I was born and I forgot
Every name that I carried from the start
I don’t know where I began
But I feel it in my heart
So I let faith write the part I can’t define
Turn this blank page into testimony lines
I don’t see the whole design
But I swear the thread is mine
[Outro]
I was born
And I forgot
But I’m finding what I am not
And the space that I can’t see
That’s where you keep holding me (mmm)
