Acoustic Medley (Live in Athens) Lyrics

[Intro]
This is a song about insecurity
Full circle y'all, I've landed the plane

Part I: Trying
[Verse 1]
Take a breath
Lift your head
Fill your lungs and
Clear your chest

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I've been trying, trying
Trying since the day I was born

[Verse 2]
Stand in line
Follow through
Have respect and
Tell the truth

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've been trying, trying
Trying, but can't tell anymore

[Verse 3]
Play it right
Note for note
Sing it better and
Sell the show
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I've been trying, trying
Trying but can't tell anymore
I've been trying, trying
Trying since the day I was born

[Chorus]
They say I've got my whole life to live
But 27 years have been
Spent while I've been trying
To feel like enough
All these voices trying
To tell me I'm not
Oh, I want what is true
Looking for some light
To carry me through

Part II: Learning How to Love

[Verse 1]
Say
They say that trust it takes time
That it's a mountain to climb
I think that I am the reason why

[Chorus]
I've been waiting for
Things to change in my heart again
I've been changing
While waiting I'll keep taking these steps for you
I've been changing
But I'm still learning how to love
I'm still learning how to
Part III: Roll With the Punches

[Chorus]
Roll with the punches, fight through the fire
When the trouble comes, baby, we can work our way around it
Love is a lesson to be learned with time
If we can't climb a mountain, then we can work our way around it
Together, we can work our way around it
Together, we can work our away around it

Part IV: Where Your Father's Been

[Verse 3]
So dream, boy, go in wonder
Fill your heart with fire and thunder
Passion leads a man to love
But that alone is not enough
You gotta lay your body low
'Cause if you love something enough
You'll learn to let it go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You gotta lay your body low
'Cause if you love something enough
You'll learn to let it go
[Bridge]
And when you're afraid
That this road has led you away
Let love find you
Let love bind you up
Let love guide you home
And remind your soul
Love will listen
I will listen to you

[Verse 4]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And when the pain is true
And your strength has fallen through
Whatever shadow that you hold
This is where your father's been
And where you're gonna go

Part V: Remembered For

[Outro]
And when the day is finally here
To leave behind those broken years
I want my family by my side
I hope they'll know how hard I've tried
To live in love, to love in depth
Let wonder take away my breath
To give until there's nothing more
This what I want to be remembered for
